I have found they married in st marys church handsworth

What year?  Where did you find that info?  See reply below

[CaroleW]

Just found it - pre-Civil Registration 6.4.1836 so no fathers names shown

[CaroleW]

1851 & 1861 show Rebecca's birthplace as Birmingham c1815 - 1817

1861 shows Thomas as b Bristol Somerset

Hi on that 1851, did you notice the possible candidate for the mother of Thomas, a Sarah Skinner aged 74 Widow occ Formerly Basket Dealer b Leicestershire, there is this possible baptism:-

Thomas Skinner 25th July 1813 Stoke Damerel, Devon residence Dock Father Thomas occ Gardner Mother Sarah?

  many thanks for the replies, I did notice the mother as a basket dealer, just struggled with the births of Rebecca and Thomas any ideas for rebeccas birth x

I can't see a baptism for Rebecca, but the following may be of interest.

On FreeReg there are two baptisms in Walsall of children born to a couple named Lewis and Sarah Anderson: Lewis in 1803 and John in 1804.

Searching in 1851 for Andersons born in Walsall shows up a Thomas Anderson born c1812. He is living in Dudley with wife Elizabeth and family, and he is a basket maker.
There is no corresponding baptism showing up on FreeReg. However, Elizabeth is Thomas' second wife, married in 1845 at St Philip, Birmingham.

Thomas Anderson widower  basket maker s/o Lewis Anderson basket maker
married Elizabeth Williams ( spinster d/o William Williams farmer )

There is also a marriage in 1848 at St Bartholomew, Edgbaston of Emma Anderson, spinster d/o Lewis Anderson basket maker to Ebenezer Hall (bachelor, bricklayer s/o Elias Hall bricklayer)
Witnesses to this marriage are Thomas Skinner and Eliza Anderson.

Lewis Anderson of Ilkeston, Derbyshire married Sarah Griffin in 1801 at Wymeswold, Leicestershire.

I'm wondering whether the Sarah Skinner in 1851, who was born in Leicestershire, is actually Rebecca's mother. Her surname is simply dittoed from above, which  could have been an error.
