Hi,
I am trying to find the father of Thomas Kingsmill (my GGG Grandfather born in 1806 in St Giles, London.) I know his father's name was also Thomas and that he married Mary ? Dinnen around 1805, but thats as far as I have got?

Does anyone else have him in their tree and know any more than this?

Thanks in advance,

Katie

There is this marriage on Ancestry parish records:

Thomas Kingsmill
Spouse Name: Mary Gilliam
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 4 Jun 1803
Parish: St Marylebone
County: Middlesex
Borough: Westminster

Source Citation: London Metropolitan Archives, Saint Marylebone, Register of marriages, P89/MRY1, Item 179


Her name looks more like GILHAM on the image.


Witnesses don't help - they witnessed most of the other marriages on the page as well so presume they worked at the church.

Thanks very much - i will keep trying. I have the details you have kindly found and think he married Mary Dinnen (as opposed to Gilham who appears to be connected to the Kent branch) I am guessing he was about 25 when married putting his d.o.b around 1780, but no record online anywhere and sadly as I don't know where he was born - assume London but ?? which of the many Parishes - so cannot search church records either!

Thanks again for all your kind suggestions,
Katie

Thomas Kingsmill was my Gx4 Grandfather and was born Swingfield, Kent in October 1769. He married Mary but the only marriage I can find recorded (none so far anywhere in Kent) was the one you have in Marylebone in 1803 to a Mary Gilham. I know that Gilhams lived in the neighbourhood that Thomas worked near Chilham in Kent so feel there is a strong chance that this is their marriage. In fact a Thomas Gilham was a landowner in Chilham (tithe records 1851) where Thomas Kingsmill was a tenant farmer in 1851.
Thomas & Mary Kingsmill have a son also Thomas, who was baptised in Elham in Kent 30th October 1808.
