Nobody with those profiles on the Staffs 1851

Can you give more info - birthplaces, names of any children who may still be living there

If you have them on the 1841 or 1861 census - please post full details

This is from a poor quality 1851 image and family is transcribed as Parks.  Looking at the image - I think it could be Tonks but family does not tie up with the 1841 apart from William
Area was Wolverhampton - St Matthews

Joseph 56 b Wednesbury iron stone miner
Ann 53 b Wheaton Aston Staffs
William married 26 b W'Hampton
Caroline daughter in law 20  ditto
Sarah dtr 16 b Bilston
Jane dtr 13 b W'Hampton
Mary dtr 10 b Bilston
Ann   4  grand daughter (could be the Ann on the 1861) b W'Hampton

Well done Carole- it certainly does look like Tonks.
I had looked for a marriage for Tonks-Trow and there was one on free bmd- 1848 I think. Mary Tonks and James Trow.
If you look at thsi 1851 entry, Mary is Mary Trow - a widow and is 30 yrs old and Ann is dittoed for surname.
I think you have found them  ;D
