Title: Parents of William Deakin, b 1856, wanted
Post by: Palomino on Sunday 31 January 21 21:25 GMT (UK)
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
Thomas

An image of the marriage certificate is available on findmypast. His father is given as Thomas Deakin, a Miner.

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

Dec 1853 Madeley
William Deakin mothers maiden name Richards
