Thank you all so much for your help and guidance.

Just an advisory note.

Rather than starting a second thread (This one) it would have been better to continue using the one that you had earlier asking for his baptism details.

Problem solved then! Shows it pays to look at info carefully before posting.
A "thanks" might have been appreciated.

I dont think the Clement born to Clement and Sophia is mine, details from his marriage in 1872 show his father as Thomas

this looks like the Clement 'Press' born to Clement and Sophia -

I can't see a marriage of Clement Press and Sophia Brown

I think I certainly do, that means the baptism that someone found for me with parents of Clement and Sophia is incorrect ( the year was wrong )
and it means the 61 above is correct

Yes that is him in 1881

Whisky,

I think that you have got your wires crossed somewhere.

The marriage certificate clearly names Clement's father as Thomas Press, a tailor.

Ah so his father was Thomas

What is his occupation and who are the witnesses?


Just so we can see him somewhere!

I notice that the 1849 Clement was baptised in a workhouse, not sure what this might signify. Can't see any evidence of Clement and Sophia together or a marriage for them.

I dont have the marriage cert, on ancestry, his marriage to Georgina Thorburn in 1872 shows his father as Clement ( I think that is where I got his fathers name from

(apologies for leaving folks, but have to go out in a min) :-)

Chris :)

There is obviously more than one Clement Press. Which one are you researching.

Is this one yours?

Name: Clement Press
Age: Full Age
Estimated birth year: abt 1872
Spouse Name: Georgina Thorburn
Record Type: Marriage
Marriage Date: 30 Jun 1872
Parish: St Mary
County: Middlesex
Borough: Islington
Father Name: Thomas Press
Spouse Father Name: James Thorburn

Can we back-track a bit? I assume you have got back to "your" Clement somehow. Do you have a marriage cert for him, hence knowing his father's name?
It would be helpful to put him on any census you have him on. I think you might be looking at the wrong Clement?
