We have a brick wall and plan to visit London in August for research. Where would you suggest we should go or what archives should we visit to look for Charles' parents or other family? Here's what I know:
-death cert shows he was born about 1788
-1812 22 Dec, Catherine Strickland, age 23 spinster, married Charles Strickland, bachelor at St Margaret Lothbury and St Christopher.
-insured property 14 January 1822 Charles Strickland 4 Penlington Place Lambeth chocolate and broma manufacturer/15 Gibson St, Lambeth, Surrey
-possibly his brother, Henry Strickland, traveler and assistant to chocolate manufacturer at 15 Gibson, listed in Court for Relief of Insolvent Debtors 25 Nov 1834
-burial date: 03 Dec 1840 age: 52 birth date: 1788. His wife died a few days prior, so possibly both died of cholera
The will was proved 14th of Jan 1841 giving the chocolate business in partnership to his two sons, Richard and Charles, and their partnership dissolved 28 Jan,1847.
-5 children died in infancy. Dau Eliz married John Hutchins Baylis, surgeon to the Royal Dispensary, on 27 Aug 1836, Saint Mark,Kennington. No offspring. In 1849, dau Harriet and son Richard emigrated to Joliet, Illinois with their families. In 1951 census, son and heir Charles is visiting a family in Soho, occupation is chocolate manufacturer. Then disappears.
Harriet's husband--my ancestor George Rainford b 1810 in London--is undocumented so the Stricklands are our tenuous connection to England.
Many thanks for suggestions,
Robin Rainford

Hi
He married as Charles Strickland and as buried as Charles Strickland. There is no second name given on his children's baptisms or on his will.
Catherine's burial at St Mary Lambeth was 4th April 1836 aged 53 which would give her age as 5 years older than her husband.
Their first child Elizabeth born in 1814 was baptised at St Margaret Westminster father's occupation coffee merchant. By 1816 Charles was a chocolate maker in Lambeth so the family was perhaps in the coffee trade before Charles branched out into chocolate.
As both Catherine and Charles' surname was Strickland the direct connection to Henry if there is one may be through Catherine (who made her mark on her marriage).
