Hi, I am looking for Any Information referance Thomas Britten Born in Bedford.1861/2. He had a son Ernest Ephram, in1886 who was born in Reading Berkshire.I have the family inthe 1891 census. in Reading,and 1901 at the same place. However I cannot find him before that, Nor any details of his wife Sarah who was born 1863 in winchester. Can anyone help with details of his earlier life or marriage.?

I do like our AoGG's birth for this one:
parents:William Brilton,? Lavinia

name: Thomas Brilton
gender: Male
baptism/christening date: 03 May 1863
baptism/christening place: HOLY TRINITY,BEDFORD,BEDFORD,ENGLAND
father's name: William Brilton
mother's name: Lavinia
indexing project (batch) number: C06213-1
system origin: England-ODM
source film number: 952432

Just because Walter's middle name is Owen I wondered about this match:

Marriages Sep 1883
BRITTEN Thomas Marylebone 1a 1222
OWEN Jane Marylebone 1a 1222

And there's this:
England & Wales, FreeBMD Birth Index, 1837-1915 about Sarah Jane Owen
Name: Sarah Jane Owen
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1862
Registration district: Winchester
Inferred County: Hampshire
Volume: 2c
Page: 95

LOL! I'm as bad as Anne!!!
