Could this be Joseph and Sara/Sarah's marriage??
1786: Jan 1 - Marriage at All Saints Church Hertford - Find my Past
Joseph Eglington bachelor of St John married Sarah Eglington (same name) spinster of All Saints and St John's - both signed
Next to Joseph's signature looks like 'Jnr' and in another place, in brackets, 'Broker'

Another fact which is of interest.....
1754: Mar 15 - Baptism at the parish of South Mimms, Middlesex - about 13 miles from All Saints, St John's

Its a bit confusing as there seems to have been two trials (first above link) the first both Bemjamin and Jordon where found 'Not Guilty'
Case: 1269 - https://www.oldbaileyonline.org/browse.jsp?id=def2-1269-18440408&div=t18440408-1269#highlight

The second is what we are mainly interested in (link below)

Case: 1312 - WILLIAM PERRY was indicted for stealing 12 boxes of patent medicine, called Dr. Freeman's Never-failing Ointment for the Itch, value 9s. 6d.; and 12 other boxes of ointment, 9s. 6d.; 3 boxes of Scots' pills, 2s. 5d.; 2 pots of honey-cream, 2s.; 2 gally-pots, 6d.; 6 bottles of Medicamentum Gratia Probatum, 3s.; and 6 bottles of Dutch drops, 3s.; the goods of William Henry Sutton and another, his masters: and BENJAMIN EGLINTON and PETER JORDAN for feloniously receiving part of the same, knowing them to have been stolen; against the Statute, &c.

MR. WILDE conducted the Prosecution.
CHARLES THAIN (City police-constable, No. 19.)
I know the three prisoners. Perry lives in George-street, Shoreditch, Eglinton keeps a chandler's shop in Blossom-street, Norton-falgate, Jordan lives in Staralley, Fenchurch-street—I have seen Jordan and Eglinton together frequently— about a quarter past one o'clock, on the 11th of March, I saw Jordan leave his house in Star-alley, and go up White Lion-street, Norton-falgate—Eglinton was standing at the corner of White Lion-street—Jordan passed by him without taking the least notice of him—I had seen them together before that day, at Eglinton's house—Jordan turned up Blossom-street and went into Eglinton's house—at the time Jordan passed Eglinton he pointed his hand along White Lion-street, and Perry was crossing from the City of London Theatre—I should say he could see Eglinton when he was crossing—Eglinton went into a public-house, and Perry directly after him—that was all I saw that day—about one o'clock, on the 19th of March, I saw Perry leave Bow Church-yard, where the pro-secutor's warehouse is—I followed him to the Black Dog in Long-alley, Moorfields—he went in at a sort of private entrance they call the "bottle department"—he remained there nearly five minutes, and came out with Eglinton—they parted in Crown-street, and Perry went along Long-alley—on the 23rd I saw Perry leave Bow Church-yard, about twenty-five minutes past eight o'clock in the morning—I followed him down Bow-lane—he went into a coffeeshop in Great St. Thomas the Apostle—he afterwards came out and went down Garlick-hill—I continued having my eye on the coffee-shop in Great St. Thomas the Apostle—I saw Eglinton come out of the same coffee¬house and go towards his house—I went to the Plough, in Plough-yard, Shore-ditch—after I had been there a little while Perry came in and went into the tap-room—she remained in a few minutes, and then Eglinton came out, and then Perry—they parted about the door-way—I then went after Eglinton and took him—I told him I was a City of London policeman, I should take him for receiving stolen property belonging to Mr. Sutton, of Bow Church¬yard, from Perry the porter to the firm—he said, "I never received any stolen property that I am aware of, or yet to my knowledge"—I searched the house, No. 9, Star-alley, Fenchurch-street (I had seen Jordan go in and come out of that house on several occasions) I found three boxes of Scots' pills with this writing on them as it is now, "William Sutton and Son, late Dicey and Son, Bow Church-yard."

Cross-examined by MR. BALLANTINE. Q. What was the charge on the other indictment that has been tried? A. Perry was charged with stealing—I cannot say on what day—I did not indict them—I gave evidence on the 11th, 19th, and 20th of March—I only proved the connexion—I mentioned Monday, the 11th of March last, as the day the theft was committed—Eglinton's warehouse is rather better than a mile from Bow Church-yard, where the things were stolen from. (See paye945.)

Cross-examined by MR. PAYNE. Q. You did not interfere with Jordan at all? A. No—I did not examine his coat to see if he had an inside-pocket—I do not believe be had—I have been a policeman nine or ten years—I cannot say whether you have a pocket in your coat-tail inside—the parcel was placed right up his back.

SAMUEL COOMBS (policeman.) On the 19th of March I sow Jordan and Eglinton together—I took Perry into custody.

JAMBS ALLAN SHARWOOD , druggist, 58, Bishopsgate-st. I have known the prisoner Jordan many years by name—I have bought things of him—I have bought patent medicines of him—on the 20th of March last I gave him orders for a dozen of each ointment—on Friday the 21st of March, at half-past nine in the morning, he brought me this dozen of patent-medicine—he asked me 8s. for it, which I paid—that was under the usual price—I had a reason for purchasing at a reduced price, as I had communicated with Messrs. Sutton, and I bought them—9s. 6d., was the proper price—I had bought another dozen of him the day previous—I had also purchased half-a-dozen on the 19th—I had refused that half-dozen on the Saturday previous—there is a mark on it—I marked it at half-past nine on the 21st of March—I received these from Jordan in the month of January—it was the last of the patent ointment that he could supply—he stated that he could sell them at less than the regular price.

Cross-examined by MR. PAYNE. Q. Did you give evidence on a previous charge of receiving stolen property? A. Yes—I had no reason to doubt that he was carrying on a respectable business in the chemist and drug-gist line—I know that he has been acting as a seller of patent medicine on commission—I never saw him at a sale—I have purchased things of him, according to his representation, just after a sale—patent medicines are not gene-rally sold—there are spurious patent medicines—you do not always get the right article—there was no concealment about Jordan in any of the transactions—I never heard any thing against his character—the difference between the price Messrs. Sutton sell it at, and what I paid was 18d., on the twelve boxes.

WILLIAM COLLINS . In March last, I was in the employ of William Henry Sutton and Son—I remember marking some medicines on Sunday the 17th of March—they were kept in a box in the cellar—at ten minutes past eight o'clock, on Thursday, the 21st of March, I saw them in the cellar—I saw Perry there that morning—he is a porter in their employ—the latest time I saw him come out of the cellar was about twenty-five minutes past eight—I cannot speak positively—he left altogether at twenty minutes to nine—all the men went out to breakfast—I saw him go out—I did not look outside the door—directly after he left I went down into the cellar, and missed one dozen—I know this ointment by these marks—I know Eglinton by sight—I had never seen him at our house—I have seen him in the neighbourhood, in Bow-lane—I did not see him on my master's premises on the morning of the 21st—I cannot say whether we have any real patent for these medicines—I do not know of any.

COURT. Q. You saw Perry come out of the cellar, had any body else been in the cellar that morning? A. Yes, James Jarman, one of the young men—I cannot be positive whether it was before or after—he is not here—he went down when I saw the things safe.

JAMES GELLATLY (City policeman.) I know Eglinton and Perry—I have seen them together at the Plough, Plough-yard. Shoreditch—I saw them there on Wednesday the 20th of March, at half-past eight o'clock in the evening—Perry came to the door and looked in—the pot-boy said. "He is not here yet"—he then went away, returned in three or four minutes, sat down and called for a pint of beer and a pipe—Eglinton came in, and said to Perry, "I have a dozen more ordered; it is strange, it is not, that they should be wanted, for last week the parties would not look at them, much more buy"—Perry said, "Between this and Saturday"—Eglinton said, "The parties are in a hurry for them"—they soon after left—I heard nothing more that night—I was there on the next evening, Thursday the 21st, the day in question, in plain clothes—I saw them both sitting there—I heard Eglinton say to Perry, "Anything to-night?"—Perry said, "No"—they were soon after joined by a man and lad, and all four left—on Saturday, the 23rd of March, I apprehended Jordan coming from Eglinton's house—I said, "I am one of the City police, I take you into custody charged with receiving stolen goods knowing them to be stolen, belonging to Messrs. Sutton and Co."—he said, "You must be mistaken; I know Sutton and Dicey well, and have laid out hundreds of pounds with them; I will give you my address, Nicholas-street, Hoxton, and No. 9, Star-alley, Fenchurch-street, where I sleep"—he said he might be found when wanted—I told him he must come with me—he said, "Young man, listen to me, and I will be a father to you"—I told him I had no desire to hear any thing he had to say—he said he had a relation in a dying state who he wished to see, and if I wanted 5l. at any time I could have it—I told him I could not listen to any such proposal, he must come to Moor-lane station—he said, "Very well"—on our road he said he had known Eglinton for years—I had not mentioned Eglinton to him—I said, "I have not mentioned any name"—he said, "No, I thought you saw me come out of his house"—he said, Saturday being a busy day it would inconvenience him a good deal, but he would go to Sutton's if I liked.

Cross-examined by MR. BALLANTINE. Q. How long have you been a police constable? A. Since the 16th of February—I am twenty-two years old—before I went into the police I was servant to Mr. Stevens, a solicitor, in Queen-street, Cheapside—I get 17s. a week—if my conduct is approved of I shall get a higher salary—I shall be promoted in the event of giving satisfaction—I do not expect to get up after this, not for six months—I took a memorandum of the conversation the same evening, about half an hour afterwards—I have it here—I was not desired to bring it with me—I was asked for it the last time—I took it down from recollection—I have referred to it pretty often since—I do not know that it is put down in the order that it passed—I do not know that the words exactly follow each other in the order I have told you to-day—I was put there to watch—I did not take the memorandum the first day, because I did not think of it—I did not put it down for the purpose of reference, but to refresh my memory—the pot-boy was here this morning.

Cross-examined by MB. PAYNE. Q. Did not Jordan say, being in his work-day dress, he should like to change it? A. Yes. I said he could not—he said, "I have known Eglinton for years, and have sold drugs for him on commission"—he might have seen me when he came out of the shop—I saw him come out of the shop at half-past three o'clock in the afternoon, and I took him—two of the prisoners had a hearing on Monday—Jordan was examined on Monday morning—it was in the street he said he would go to Sutton's if I liked—he appeared very indignant at the charge—he talked very fast and loud—I have not discovered that he told me a single falsehood—I have never inquired whether the places of residence are correct—he did not make any attempt to escape—he was going the contrary way till I turned him round—he did not fight me—he talked so fast I cannot remember all he said—I never heard any body say that he had a relative in a dying state—he said so himself before the Alderman—I will not swear he did not say he thought it strange Messrs. Sutton had not ascertained the loss instead of taking him prisoner—he spoke about the 5l. directly after saying he had a relative in a dying state.

MR. BALLANTINE. Q. Have you ever shown this paper to any body? A. No—I did not mention the conversation to any body except the Magistrate.

Jordan. It was my own daughter that was dying; that was the reason I offered him 5l.
GEORGE JONES . I am manager to Messrs. Sutton. I never saw Jordan before—if he had been in the habit of buying patent medicines at our place I must have known him—patent medicines are never sold at a reduction.

Cross-examined by MR. PAYNE. Q. Do you know Mr. Jordan who formerly carried on a large business in Whitechapel? A.No.—I cannot swear he has not done business with our house twenty-five years ago—I never heard till the last week or two that he was a large chemist and druggist in Whitechapel—I have been in the business eighteen years, and can only speak to that time—I will not swear he did not carry on business in Whitechapel.

(Joseph Low, goldsmith and jeweller; Francis King, tavern-keeper; Alfred; and Richard Divine, chemist and druggist, No. 76, Aldersgate-street; gave Eglinton a good character.)

(Thomas Williams, tobacconist, No. 87, Blackman-street, Borough; Samuel Cheshire, chemist and druggist, No. 144, Whitechapel; Samuel James Stokes, New North-road; and Henry Cook, cook and confectioner, No. 9, Star-street, Fenchurch-street; gave Jordan a good character.)

From the newspaper advert placed by her husband it appears Matlida walked out on him which brings the question, was the child born in 1850 actually his?

1848: - Advert placed in the local paper:-
CAUTION - The Undersigned hereby cautions the public against harbouring his wife, Matilda Brooker, arranging any credit on his account, she the said Matilda Brooker, having left her home and any protection without any just cause or provocation, as that he will not be responsible for any dept's she may after this date.

1851: Matilda departed on the ship ‘William’ from Launceston, Van Diemen’s Land to Melbourne, Victoria with 3 of her children.

1852: No record has been found that Benjamin Eglinton ever married Matilda Brooker nee Simmons – however in 1852 a Louisa Eglinton was born in Melbourne and in 1856 a Morton Eglinton was born in Ballarat. (Morton was listed as James Benjamin in the Birth Index and Morton on the actual certificate). Parents were listed as James Benjamin and Matilda for both children. It can only be assumed that Matilda had changed her name to Eglinton as we assume Benjamin was not prepared to commit bigamy which if caught would have led to further incarceration. The question has to be asked why Benjamin abandoned Matilda and his two children.

1852: Louisa Eglinton born at Collwood, Victoria, Australia
1856: James Benjamin Eglinton also known as Morton Eglinton born at Ballarat, Victoria, Australia

1856: For whatever reason Benjamin abandoned Matilda and her children and returned to England

1866: Wednesday June 13 - The Conwall Chronical - POLICE COURT. Saturday, 9th June, 1866. (Before Wm. Gunn, Esq., P. M)
HOUSEBREAKING - Thomas Grant was charged by Con stable Daniel O'Donnell witb having, on the 10th instant, feloniously broken into and entered the dwelling house of Mr Mark Brooker, at Franklin Village, and stolen therefrom an opposum-skin rug, a double pair of blankets, a cotton rug, and other articles.
Mark Brooker sworn, deposed — I reside at Franklin Village, near Kerry Lodge, and have a small farm and dwelling-bouse there; no one resides with me; yesterday I left my house about half -past 11 o'clock in the forenoon, and secured my door by a padlock ; I returned at about quarter-past 4 in the afternoon and found that the house had been entered during my absence by drawing the staple in the door to which the hasp was fastened; the padlock was in the staple in the jamb to which the hasp had been sawed: I examined the place inside and missed my opossum-skin rug, a cotton rug, and a pair of blankets, which had been taken off the bed; some articles of food were also carried away; I searched about and found the track of footsteps leading towards the road; I went to a neighbour and told him what had occurred, and was then going towards the Police Station to make a report; owing to something Mr Fisher said to me I remained with him for a little time, and saw two men coming down the road from the direction of Kerry Lodge towards the Village. The prisoner Thomas Grant was one of them. He was carrying a bundle, which I saw consisted of an opossum skin rug. I asked him to let me look at it. He said, 'Look at it, look at it' and continued to walk on and carry it with him. Mr Fisher and I followed after him and still asked to see the rug. The prisoner's companion then asked the prisoner to put it down, he did so and I opened it and found inside it all the things I had missed from my house I said these were the things stolen from my house.
Mr Fisher said — '' Give him in charge' The prisoner, after he laid his bundle down walked away before I examined it, and the other man with him. We called them back and they came back ; I charged them with stealing the things. The prisoner said he did it and the other man had nothing to do with it. The prisoner then went on towards the Village. Mr Fisher told me to follow him and give him in charge, and he would look after the other man, When he said that, the other man bolted down the road which leads towards the White Hills. I followed tbe prisoner and met Constable O'Donuell coming towards me ; I gave him the prisoner in my charge. I returned with the constable and prisoner, with whom the bundle was left, and the constable took possession of it. I identify the rugs and blankets produced. They are my property, and of the value of £l. 4s. 6d. Constable O'Donuell was examined and the prisoner, who had nothing to say in his defence, was then fully committed for trial.

William James Eglinton age 21 Bachelor, Clerk married Sarah Elizabeth Whiting a Spinster – both of 5 Stanley Street
Fathers: William Eglinton a Clerk and John Whiting deceased Farmer
Witness: John Drake and Christina Drake
William and Sarah had a daughter:  

1870: Birth record – Violetta Eglinton at St George Hanover Square – Dec quarter (1a 331)

1871: St George Hanover Square Westminster
William Eglington – Head – age 20 1851 – Clerk at a Map sellers – St Mary’s Abchurch (Cannon Street) London

Violetta Eglington – Dau – age 0 - Middlesex,

1871: Death record – Sarah Elizabeth Eglinton at St George Hanover Square – Dec quarter (1a 232) age 24

It appears Violetta was not taken into William’s next marriage. There could be several reason but what we do know is sometime about 1875 after William married Lizzie they moved to Boulogne-Sur-Mere France where William was employed as manager to Mr J Smith of Glasgow on the local racing track. William and Lizzie lived in France until about 1881 and there they had three children. From this it is fairly certain William could speak French and also shows he must have had some good schooling.
So what happed to Violetta

William remarried
