1871 census Staffs - Acton

[langbank]

I am looking for info on 1st wife of William Acton born abt 1840 in Tipton, Staffs. There were two children  Edward  abt 1864 and Phoebe abt 1868, all in Tipton.
I am having great difficulty in getting a name for wife.
He later remarried abt 1875 to Alice and had 3 more children, all in Tipton.

Any help appreciated.

if these are the right children, remember they are christening dates not birth dates and often a family of children were baptised together.

Found this as a possible on free bmd, maybe you could obtain a death certificate to verify the correct person.

ACTON  Sarah Ann  30  Dudley  6c 31

Dudley area does cover Tipton.

Hope this helps and good luck.
