I don't know her mother, was hoping to find her on 1841 census so I could find her parents.There is a Thomas Paston on 41 census born 1828 in Surrey, wondered if he was a brother but not sure who he is Looks like Andy's could be right & mistranscribed or written down.

Maybe??

Father James is a Shoemaker which also agrees with 1843 marriage.

Address is Providence Place, which I think is also on marriage cert.- image is badly smudged.

Could someone please find Emma Paston on 1841 Census, please. I know she married William Dodson in 1843 Bermondsey. Her father was James Paston. I have done a search but can't find her. Hoping she is with her mother & father, sorry don't know her mother.
Thanks Hilary
