Birth Lookup 1869-1873 Croydon Surrey? Andrew Deighton/Dighton

[irret]

Would any kind person be able to help and find the birth of Andrew Dighton/Deighton/Diton 1869  from census it gives Croydon Surrey I have him on the 1891 census any help would be greatly appreciated

Next door to Andrew on the 1891 census is Elizabeth who I take to be Andrew's mother or at least a close relation, and her children. On the 1871 census Elizabeth plus husband and children, but minus Andrew are in Sussex.

Just to say that there is a thread about this family on the Sussex board too.   No idea where Ellford is in Sussex though.

Valda,
Thank you so much, I had made that connection but only just :-\They certainly did travel about a bit. Thanks for the link- I hadn't seen it before.
Thank you also Andrea, that is me trying to find Williams birth ( who I think to be Andrews father ) A big challenge here

Would any kind person be able to find Andrew Deighton/Dighton's birth I have him on 1891 census and it gives Croydon 1873? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The partial index (freebmd) can also be searched on the same website or at http://freebmd.rootsweb.com

Have you double checked his birthyear and birthplace on the 1881 census which is free at www.familysearch.org

Thank you I have tried Freebmd, I can't find him! 

[CaroleW]

Freebmd is only a partial index transcribed by volunteers.  If he is not on freebmd then you need to search the full GRO index - see above

Where was he in 1891 as I can't find an Andrew Deighton/Dighton b 1873 Croydon on the 1891 or 1901 censuses

Could any kind person please find me the birth of Andrew Dighton/ Deighton 1869 - 1873 Croydon ( if we go on his age at marriage it would be 1869/1870 ) I am desperate to find the next link in the tree and get further back. Thanks to Rootschatters i have just received his marriage to Caroline Smith his father is Andrew also but if we can get his mothers name from birth cert is Ellen it will confirm that he belongs to  Jas (James ) Dighton & Eliza Lee family as shown on the 1851 census
The 1851 Census Plumstead Kent ? Coomon Open Ground
Jas Dighton Head widow  47 yrs Tinker & Grinder bn: Sawbridgeworth HRT (~1804)
Dighton John son 19yrs bn:  Rainham Essex ~ 1824
Dighton Saunders son bn: White Rodden Essex ~ 1831
Dighton Isabella daughter bn: Capel Kent ~ 1834
Dighton William son bn: Ilfover Essex ~ 1837
Dighton Lawrence son bn: Barking Side Essex ~ 1842
Dighton Henry son bn: Swanscombe ~ 1847
Jas (james) Dighton?s wife I believe was Eliza Lee
Saunders Dighton (above 1851 census) was baptized and recorded on the lDS IGI  Baptism site ?his mother is nominated as Eliza Lee and father James D(e)ighton
Any help however little would be greatly appreciated.
ONE SMALL LINK WOULD COMPLETE THE CHAIN.
