I have Mittons in my tree from about the same time so have collected some details.

LDS IGI PRs have marriage of Benjamin Little and Martha Mitton at Wellington 22 Mar 1826.

Martha is most likely the daughter of George Mitton and Martha baptised 16 Apr 1809 Dawley. Her siblings were (IGI PRs)

George 31 Oct 1802 Wombridge
Rebecca 13 Jan 1805 Wombridge
Philip 27 Jan 1811 Dawley Magna
Mary 8 Dec 1812 Dawley Magna

the Mitton family don't appear on the Wellington 1821 Census so were possibly still in Dawley at this time. Benjamin Little is not on the Wellington 1821 either.

There are 4 member submitted records on the IGI showing George Mitton married Martha Williams 26 Dec 1798 at St Chads, Shrewsbury. There are no other baptism records at Wombridge for Mittons apart from George and Rebecca so it seems likely that George the father was not originally from there.

Benjamin Little was probably the son of Thomas Little and Sarah, baptised 29 Mar 1809 at Madeley. There are no other children baptised in the area with the same parents.

Hope this gives you a few pointers?
