I am hoping someone may be able to assist me. My relative Charles Hinton shows up on the 1861 census as born in Dorsetshire and 1871 census as born in Lyme Dorsetshire.
However , I have been unable to locate him on any earlier census or in locating his birth record.
I have his Marriage certificate that shows he was 24 years old when he married Henrietta Roberts (22) at the Baptist Chapel Coleford, West Dean, Gloucestershire. His profession at the time was a Pitsinker and his fathers name is shown as Thomas Hinton (Labourer)
The marriage cert. shows him to be married in the Baptist Chapel Coleford. However I do not know if that is his religion as he is buried in unconsecrated ground in the cemetery in Coleford.
Any assistance anyone can give me would be very much appreciated, as I no-longer live in England and it will be a while before I can get home to conduct local research.
Thnak you in advance.

Hi Dragon girl.
Thank you I really appreciate the help. I know for sure that he married Henrietta Roberts on The 19th of April 1859 at the Baptist Chapel, Coleford, Glouscestershire, with his age recorded as 24 years.
I have found him on the 1861 Census living in West Dean Glouscestershire, which is where my family is from. In 1861 he was living at Colaway and working as a miner according to the Census.
1871 census same as above living in West Dean
He died in Jan 1878. ( recorded on the Monmouth registry)
Buried Jan 1878 Coleford Cemetery
Both census show him as being born in Dorsetshire although one states Lime Dorsetshire, which I have assumed is incorrect spelling by the census collector, to be Lyme (Regis).
I have confirmed all his information from the point of his marriage onwards, I just don't know anything prior to that. It was only the marriage certificate that confirmed his fathers name as Thomas Hinton. Witnesses on the certificate were Anne Morris and something( forgot the name ) Roberts, the latter I assume a relative of Henrietta's
Any help you can provide would be very much appreciated
