My GGGrandfather was THOMAS SOLE who married a MARY IRONS (fromn Henley, Oxon?) in Hackney on 28 Nov 1846. iI have the certificate for this marriage and it tells me Thomas's father was another THOMAS SOLE, a sawyer, living in Homerton at the time. Census records indicate he was born around 1820. I am having trouble taking this further back and have gone down several wrong alleys on this quest. Can anyone help with information on Thomas' mother; father; siblings; dates; locations etc. Searching the the right SOLE in London is quite a challenge.

Thanks
John
