Sorry, Ammanda, it's mother's father's father's mother this week! Would you like me to move this thread onto the Research Questions board if you want some help tracing him?

The marriage was at St Mary's Church, Prestwich, no middle name listed for Thomas on the index. If you order a copy of the marriage certificate it should tell you the name of Thomas's father.

I found the marriage on UKBMD:

Forename(s) Spouse's Surname GRAY Thomas
Spouse's Forename(s) DILLON Catherine
Year 1838
Church / Register Office Prestwich, St.Mary
Registers At Bury Lancashire
Region Reference Order On-line
CE18/2/186

http://www.lancashirebmd.org.uk/marriages.php

You can order the marriage certificate from them or direct from the GRO.

This will give you Thomas's father and occupation and Catherine's father and occupation.
