Going by the age of the children this seems to be his parents marriage.

Sept 1868 in Derby

John Dodd and Eliza Richardson ref 7b page 560

Using the 1911 census index- he seems to be in Audenshaw with his parents still single and age 33.

So any marriage would have to be after that date or in Oz..............do you know when he travelled out there?

FindMyPast have a Joseph F Dodd of 95 Guide Lane, Hoole Hill, Manchester; aged 44, a moulder, travelling 3rd class to Melbourne on 8 Mar 1922 on ship Baradine.  No wife

I know that his middle name should be T not F, but this is a typed form, perhaps typed up froma handwritten entry?  and I can see how an elaborate T could look like an F........

[carol8353]

T and F are very near each other to be swopped in the typing !

The age and job certainly fits.That's great Spider 

Do you know for sure that he did marry then?

Looking at WWI service records, there is a very badly damaged collection for Joseph Thomas Dodd.  I am pretty certain it is our JTD because there is mention of Hoole Hill and Guide Lane.  I think it says that JTD enlisted but then deserted at some point and re-enlisted under the name of Joseph Thomas.  Might be worth asking one of the Armed Forces experts to cast their beady eyes over the records.
