Good evening everybody,
I ve got stuck in looking for the parents of
William Deakin, born 1856 (est. due to census ) in Little Wenlock, Shropshire, England,
marriage 25 Dez 1875 in Wellington, Shropshire, with: Emily Green, b 18 Apr 1858, Lawley
(Reg. 1875 Oct-Nov-Dec district Wellington, Shropshire, Vol 6a p. 1526)
children: Henry b 1879, Mary b 1876
Should I order a marriage certificate or is there another way to find out about his parents?
Thanks a lot for your help

I think first wife Mary Ann Richards is likely to be the mother of your William and father married again to Hannah.
