Witnesses on the marriage certificaste are sometimes relatives -and can give further clues

Suz
Carole has checked the marriage cert also but as she says they do not have Barnett surnames.  I have even checked records for the witnesses trying to find a link but so far no joy there.
Thanks to you all for helping with this... it is fantastic to know there are other people out there willing to help. 
Regards
Karen

1815 was well before the start of civil registration which didn't start until 1837 I'm afraid.  The closest you may find is a baptism record but not all children were baptised as infants.  The early 1800s were a time when the population of London was exploding as young men and women who couldn't find work at home in rural parishes came into the big city for work.  What was Stanley's occupation, and his father's?  Are there any other clues - other possible family members staying with him in later censuses?  Was he still alive in 1851 (in which case the census should give his place of birth)?

Thanks Ermy.  As stated to Carole he left UK just after the 1841 census so no more records of him in UK after that and too early for any death records in New Zealand.  This is a real tricky question and one that may never have an answer.
I certainly appreciate your response and your advice.  Thanks again.

Marriage cert shows Victualler

Thanks for your reply so quickly Carole.  It was only 2 months after the 1841 census that Sydney and his family migrated to New Zealand.  He died in 1845 over there, before registration of deaths in NZ and of course well before any census records were started.  Thanks again, I appreciate your help.

How can I find out the mother of Sydney William Barnett and where he was born?
On his 1838 marriage cert to Ann Maria Bruce it shows Sydney's father as being Wm Geo Barnett and no mother's name.  Sydney is shown as being 23yo at the time of his marriage, making his birth 1815
The 1841 London census of Sydney & Ann (& also baby Wm Geo) shows that Sydney was not born in the County.  With such scant information does anyone have any suggestions on where I can look to find his birth and his mother?
I have not found a birth record for Sydney so I am wondering if some parents did not register the birth of their children back then??

Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Regards
Karen

Not sure how to modify anything on here but I will keep trying.
Isabella Cobban dau of George & Elizabeth Cobban (nee Henry) was ch 18 July 1797 in Lonmay.  Her siblings were Margaret ch 1801, George ch 1803, Anne ch 1805, William ch 1807 all in Lonmay.  Isabella Cobban married James Warrander in 1824.  Their issue - Anne ch 5 Aug 1824 Died 29 Mar 1904, James ch 26 Nov 1826 Died 27 Oct 1901, Elizabeth ch 6 Jan 1833 Died 22 July 1904 & George born 1834 / ch 1837 Died 13 June 1915.
Hope this helps.

Hi again Alex,
Now that I have checked I am convinced we are following the same family -
George Warrander m Margaret Slessor in 1793
  Their son James married Isabella Cobban in 1824
      Their son James married Jean Greig in 1853
          Their son George (your GGGGgrandfather) is the brother of my GGGGgrandfather Alexander Marr Warrander.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Alex,
My maiden name is Warrander with ancestors from Old Deer, and I was delighted to see your notice on here.  I am willing to share all my information with you if we are of the same family.  If you would like to contact me directly, please send me a personal message.  I look forward to hearing from you.
Karen
