Please help me to find marriage of John and Mary Barnett they baptised William on 17 Oct 1784 at st Mary's handsworth

Have you ruled out the 1780 marriage shown on Family Search in Stoke on Trent?

[peb205]

No. How can I rule it out?

[CaroleW]

Why are you assuming they married in Handsworth?  What proof do you have that they did?

[peb205]

I don't have any proof
Are you suggesting that this marriage is likely to be correct?

[CaroleW]

If you look on Family Search you will find in a range of 1774 - 1784 that is the only John & Mary Barnett marriage in Staffs.

However - that does not mean they are the couple you are researching.   

FS has no 1784 baptism for William in Staffs so where did you get that info from and how do you know it is your William who was baptised in Handsworth? 

There is an 1841 entry for a William Barnett aged 55 living in Sedgeley but no birthplace shown and I can't find an 1851 entry to confirm his birthplace

There is another 1841 for a William Barnett also aged 55 living in Wolverhampton but shown as not b Staffs

My William is the father of Richard BARNETT bap: 28 MAY 1833 St Peter’s in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, d. 2 Aug 1910 bur: 6 AUG 1910 Yardley cemetery (Tin plate worker)
I got the info from Birmingham library

Is this the correct family in 1841?
