Rotherhithe, Surrey
Thomas Staveley married Lydia GODDEN on February 21, 1830 at St. Mary the Virgin in Dover. It is unclear who Thomas' parents were. Thomas and Lydia had four children in Dover between 1832 and 1837. Their two youngest children, Mary Ann and Thomas James, died in infancy in 1836 and 1837 respectively. By 1841 we find Thomas and his family living in Rotherhithe:
