Struggling with 4x great grandparents

[Krazykat87]

Hi I am really stuggling to figure out which birth/baptism is correct for my 4x great grandparents James Wibberley and Sarah Dearnally.
I have found several records than could be them but because their marriage doesn’t show the fathers names I can’t decide which is the correct ones so I’m at a bit of an impass.

They married on the 27th March 1826 in the parish of kirkburton.
And in 1831 we’re living in hinchcliff mill when they had Samuel, my 3x ggrandad
I know James was born in Derbyshire but on census I see ‘shirley’ and ‘bradley’ which in turn means I have forums a few births/baptism that could be his.
Sarah has ‘kirkburton’ and ‘wooldale’.

James died in 1872 and Sarah in 1876 ( I think)

I would love to know how all you guys manage to confirm your findings when you get in this rut
Thanks in advance

List censuses in full,
List kids baptisms in full.

List candidate baptisms for james and sarah, and look for family forenames being passed down.

[Krazykat87]

Ok I shall do that tomorrow when I pull out my file again. My battery is getting real low so best to watch for morning. They had a good few kids which I think I have most of them now anyway. I have the 41,51,61,71 census

To add to Pauline's list...

Do you have witnesses names to the marriage which may help with who the children were named after (names in the family)?

Take note of their ages on census' as often people give a date such as 'b 1820' when the age actually differs on census records from 1818 - 1824 or such like.

Marriage

Parish of kirkburton
James Wibberley of this parish and Sarah Dearnally of this parish were married in this church by banns with consent of ? This 27 day of March 1826 by me ?

In the presence of John moorhouse and Booth

It’s extremely faded but as a side note the marriage above is also done in the presence of those two witnesses and the one below has 1 of the witnesses in common

[Rosinish]

Plenty of family names to choose from for potential parents.

Whichever name is not the one appearing on another marriage, could be (not necessarily) a relative possibly married to a sister so it's an avenue to look for a marriage with that name with the surname Wibberley or Dearnally?
