Rowley Regis baptism

[Trees]

Help
I have a marriage for Enoch Whitehouse and Hester Carter Q3 1859 Dudley
an Anc...ry tree appears to have the certificate and says his father was Joseph and the marriage was witnessed by Thomas and Sarah Whitehouse ( I wrote to the owner a fortnight ago with out reply)
In 1871 RG10/ 2995fo64 p13   Mary Whitehouse b 1787 is mother of Enoch
So from these pieces I deduce Enoch was born about 1838 son of a Joseph and Mary in Rowley Regis
So can anyone find a baptism for Enoch in Rowley Regis please or any sight of him before his marriage?
In 1851 there is an Enoch and three brothers with a widowed mother Mary BUT she was born 1811! surely this is too great an age difference. Mary seems to be lodging ( no other relationship given)with an Elizabeth WHITEHOUSE and her son in 1881 in Rowley Regis. So where was Mary before 1871?

Hope you can help

Should mention a further complication
In 1901 Edith B Handley is with Enoch and Esther as a niece
In 1911 she was Edith Blanche daughter of Henry and Susannah Handley
Henry Handley m Susannah WHITEHOUSE
Henry Handley became the executor of Enoch's will
Enoch and Esther had a daughter Susannah   but that would make Edith their grand daughter
A Thomas and Ann also had a daughter Susannah the same age now if this Susannah was Edith's mother and if she was a niece of Enoch (or possibly grand niece) that would mean either Thomas or Ann was a sibling of Enoch (Thomas Whitehouse m Ann Whitehouse) You may recall one of the witnesses on Enoch's marriage was a Thomas
Oh Help it just gets more and more complicated

The 1841 census you have found fits perfectly for widowed Mary with the four sons in 1851 in all but her age but her age agrees with two censuses I have found later ie the 1871 RG10/ 2995fo64 p13when Mary is with Enoch and Esther this time born 1797 and the 1881 when she is b 1800 Rowley lodging with Elizabeth and her son William.
So I am taking the 1841 census as correct and the 1851 dob as suspect
Many thanks for your help it was getting to me a bit 
where did you find the baptisms please?

Many thanks I will try to contact the owner of that site it shows exactly what I a think my family has
Can't thank you enough I was beginning to think there was no way forward with this one just too many Whitehouse families around but this fits so well its promising.
