1841 HO107/1325/2 fol.15 p.22 Union Row, Barnsley Wm. Simpson 55 Linen Weaver Mary " 50 Geo. " 18 Chimney Sweep James " 16 " Wm. " 10 " Hannah " 7 all born in county
ages not too accurate in 1841, but you need his marriage cert to find out his father's name and occupation to help you check: 2 possibles if you don't already have it - Jun Qu 1848 Ecclesfield 22 133 (a Sarah Jones on same page) Dec Qu 1848 " 22 148 (a Sarah Bell on same page)
If not sure of Sarah's maiden name then you need one of their children's birth certs to find that.
Hope this helps, Barbara
