Hi Kev  :)

The name of the Church is just "The Parish Church"...but the Parish name is a stonker...Of course I can't read it now that I'm replying, so I'll go and have another look.

Jones the Search will be right. It is not only in Derbyshire but also in the registration district of Derby. That has only 5 churches with Saint's names - St. Alkmund, St. Werburgh, St. Michael, St. Peter and St. Andrew.
Southern or Southan [Hereford , Monmouthshire & Glos], Jenkins, Meredith and Morgan [Monmouthshire and Glos.], Murrill, Damary, Damry, Ray, Lawrence [all Middx. & London], Nethway from Kenn or Yatton. Also Riley and Lyons in South Africa and Riley from St. Helena.

There are photos of St Alkmund church being demolished

Thank you, that's really helped.
I agree with you all it must be St Alkmund, and that makes the district fit in with other births of their children in St Peter's district.

Thanks again.

Just a couple of more things if anyone can help?

What was written above Bachelor?

Was his profession a FIREMAN?

I think the street is Derwent Street but what is the other? (Eagle Place perhaps?)

Are the Fathers names JOSEPH and SAMUEL?

The fathers occupations! Are they MINER and DYER?

any comments would help

Incidentally, that marriage is in the IGI (with the names of both fathers).
Also what is very likely to be Ann's christening:
Ann TUNNALY bap 10 Aug 1834, Saint Alkmund Derby Derby, parents Samuel TUNNALY and Patience.
And the following other children to the same parents, same parish:
Thomas TUNNALLY bap 28 Feb 1836
Sarah TUNALEY bap 7 Oct 1838, died 21 Feb 1840
Jane TUNALEY bap 5 Apr 1840

The above are all extracted entries.  There is also an LDS submission for the marriage of the parents:
Samuel TUNALEY m Patience PAGE 27 May 1833.

And possibly Samuel's christening (extracted entries):
Samuel TUNALEY bap 24 Oct 1810 All Saints Derby Derby, parents Thomas TUNALEY and Elizabeth
Etc.

Pigot's Directory of Derbyshire 1835 at:
http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/DBY/Pigot1835/dbyderby.html
includes under DYERS a Thomas TUNALEY of Tenant St and a Thomas TUNALEY jr of Derwent St.

PS: The 1851 census entry for Samuel, Patience, Ann etc is at:
http://www.tunaley.com/Census%201851.htm
The 1841 census is also on the site.

Hi Kev,

I think that the second address is Eagle Place, not sure about the entry above Bachelor though! ???

It does look like his profession is Fire Man and I think that the father's names are Joseph and Samuel, the occupations are Dyer and possibly Miner.
