Marriage & Birth Look ups Please for Stourbridge 1852 & 1855

[Greenwood Greats]

Please could SKS do me a look up for 2 marriages in Stourbridge in the 1800's

I have found these 2 marriages on Ancestry but of course they are showing me 2 couples so I am unsure who has married who! I have been on FamilySearch & FreeReg but there doesnt seem to be any Stourbridge records anywhere

I know my John Davis b1830 Bilston Staffordshire married a Mary Ann b1835 (says on census born Bilston & also Sedgley)  - I am really struggling to find which Mary Ann it is

These are the 2 I have found for Stourbridge

1. John Davis & Mary Anne Worrall Stourbridge Dec quarter 1852
2. John Davis & Mary Ann Ledbury Stourbridge Sept quarter 1855

Their first born was Sarah Jane Davis - I cannot find her birth either - the year is looking as being 1855 (I have found a birth record on BMD for Stourbridge Sept quarter 1855)

Any help would be very much appreciated

Thank you

Hi,

There is a birth of an Alfred Davis 1856 q2, Stourbridge, mother's maiden name Ledbury does he feature in your Davis family?

The new GRO index indicates that child was possibly illegitimate as no mothers maiden name given

Hi JJ

Many thanks for your help - no I do not have an Alfred but there is a gap in babies of over 2 years so I suppose it is possible if maybe he died pre 1961 census? I feel like I am grasping at straws here! - but maybe a flicker of hope

Thank you

Is this the Davis family on the 1871? -

John Davies   40
Mary A Davies   36
Sarah J Davies   16
John Davies   14
William H Davies   11
George Davies   9
Job Davies   7
Walter Davies   1

If so then Job and Walter's birth record on GRO show their mother's maiden name as LLoyd.

Yes we were just thinking the same ! It is unusual to have 2/3 children out of wedlock isnt it?

This is a great breakthrough for us now though as their final child Frederick born 1872 is my husbands maternal grandfather so we are delighted we now know the correct Mary Ann!

Thank you!
