You would need to check the parish records for Kings Bromley (assuming she married there). These will be held at Staffordshire Records Office and according to Genuki, Bishop's Transcripts are at Lichfield Register Office.

Thanks Sue and David for that, what I am trying to do is get a fix for her Marriage but as she was a widow in 1841 it is very difficult ,on the 1841 census her son Charles is listed as 35 which would make him born 1806 are there records that far back

Hi Mallow,
I'm a newby to this site but I have had some success in tracing my own family's marriages and some for other people.
My family lived in Rowley Regis but in the early 19C liked to go elsewhere to marry. Many chose St Philips or St Martins in Birmingham, a distance of 6 or 7 miles, a grand church was something a young bride aspired to. I've learnt not to limit my searches to the local churches.
I've found Familysearchonline, part of BMSGH useful and cheap. £5 keeps me going for ages. So I tried Allsop, 1804, with a 2 year either way range for marriages in Staffordshire. It came up with 5 Christian names, three were male, one was 1806, so probably too late. Another was married to a lady called Elizabeth.... but... the first one was this
On 29 JAN 1804 at Lichfield St Michael in county of STS Groom Benjamin ALLSOP Status Occupation Residence in county of Notes Bride Sarah SMEDLEY Status Occupation Residence in county of Notes Banns or Licence General Notes Source
Amount paid £0.07
Lichfield is just 5 miles away from Kings Bromley.
Every time I have applied the same technique and found a likely marriage, I have been right. This could be my first failure but I think it could be worth looking into. Witnesses can be a big help sometimes.
