My gtgtgrandfather b ~1841 in London. A master mariner. He married Barbara ? and lived in Stranton, W Hartlepool. Found on 1871 census. I would like to know where in London he comes from, and his parents. I have looked in vain for his birth in the Family Records Office - looked from 1837 for about 10 years. Also where did he marry Barbara? She was born in West Hartlepool. Have looked in various parish records there.
