Just following though on that Rose Horton, again, not sure if she is the right Rose Horton but just so we have her family details:

Class: RG11; Piece: 752; Folio: 110; Page: 3

Charles Horton 41, Labourer In Royal Arsenal
Harriet Horton    41
Rose H. Horton 14
Charles F. Horton 12
Louisa C. Horton 9
James Horton    29, brother, lab
George Tapsell 27

The family all seem to be relatively local to the area. No sign of a Mary Ann though on this census  :-\

I am pretty sure that Elizabeth was..."Parish Church", in the Parish of t Paul, Charlton

Emily Jane was married at "the parish church" in the Parish of Woolwich...

Am just googling that now...

 :-[ :-[ :-[ I should hang my head in shame being RC myself; read this:

Baptismal registers
The basic information provided in a baptismal register is the name of the child, the name of the father and the date of baptism. The mother’s name will usually be given as will a specific location. The occupation of the father and the date of birth of the child may also be provided. Roman Catholic registers will normally give the names of the sponsors of the child.

The Catholic baptism records for the diocese of Down and Connor, and to some extent the diocese of Dromore, contain valuable annotaions to baptismal records, which often give details of the marriage of the indvidual concerned. Given the high levels of Irish emigration at this time, or indeed the movements of the population internally within Ireland, these annotations often refer to a marriage which took place in another country, or county within Ireland. Such records are an invaluable source for tracing Catholic ancestors. Researchers can maximise the research benefits of these records by using the Foundation's online pay-to-view baptisms and marriages search facility.

A couple of years ago I was trying to get a copy of my baptism certificate from the Church in Mexico City where I was baptised. I spoke to the Parish Priest who proceed to recount full details of my life: date of confirmation, full details of my marriage in the UK etc.  Spooked was I  :o

Might be worth asking the nice lady at St Peter and Pauls if they hold that sort of information  ::)
