Thomas Durden married Mary Gale at St. Martin's on 5 Dec 1824.

A James Durden married Catherine Holton at St. John's, Hillingdon on 2 Jul 1778.

Affidavits for 1779 show that on 2 March 1780 the infant James Durden, was buried at W. Drayton "half baptized" and without Affidavit. No baptism record was found for this child who was possibly a son of James and Catherine.

Elizabeth, daur of James and Catherine Durden was bapt. 24 March 1793.

Tilbury events recorded at St. Martin's were:-

An Affidavit sworn before J. Longman on 8 September 1776 records that George Tilbury was buried in wool. Burial records show that George was an infant but no baptism was found for him at St. Martins.

Banns of marriage between Thomas Tilbury and Sarah Hall were called on 8, 15 and 22 October 1775 and they were married on the 9th November of that year.

James, son of Thomas and Sarah Tilbury was bapt. 13 July 1777

Sarah, daur of Thomas and Sarah Tilbury was bapt. 22 Aug 1779

An Affidavit sworn before M. Babbs on 13 Apr 1779 records that Thomas Tilbury was buried in wool. The parish record for this burial does not show that Thomas was an infant, as were 16 others on the same page, so it is assumed that he was the husband of Sarah Hall.

John Tilbury (3), of London, was buried 15 Sep 1816 and is thought to have been the son of Thomas Tilbury and Ann, nee Durden, whose son John was born in London on the 24 Sep 1813.
