Good Afternoon.
What do you want to know?
Marriage you can get her maiden name from one of the children's births-William Henry wolverhampton Dec 1859 6b 383 should fit.
They arrived back at wolverhampton c 1853 because baptisms of children at St Pauls

They are on the 1851 census Rookery Lane as Lay on ancestry living next door to
Joseph Lay 81 farm lab Codsall
Dianah 68 laundress from wolverhampton
Joseph Banks gs 18 Tettenhall blind.
Not hard to guess their his parents even though I can't find a baptism at Codsall.
They married 22.12.1811 Codsall Dinah Pool and probably a 2nd marriage for him.

Baptised Joseph Codsall 24.7.1768 s of Thomas and Elizabeth Lea.

Dinah Pool St Peters Wolverhampton 21.3.1784 d of Matthew and Ann.
Siblings Joseph 18.4.1786,Ann 25.12.1788,Thomas 21.10.1793
Possible ist family Joseph with a Mary at codsall.-John Lea 27.8.1809,Ann 13.7.1794,Martha 16.2.1811-31.7.1811,Mary 8.7.1804,Sarah 28.2.1796,Elizabeth 29.11,1801.Not beyond the possiblity that mary died in childbirth.
Can do you more on John and Jane's children but john's baptism and marriage proving tough nut to crack.Will get back to you

Hi Ciderdrinker

Thanks for the info, re John Lea, I might now be able to trace him using the name Lay.  Thanks again much appreciated for all the time and effort you have put in.
