Marriage of Thomas Jones and Elizabeth Harrison St Thomas Dudley 1875

[momo22]

Hello
 I was hoping someone had access to the records of St Thomas Dudley and could find the name of Thomas's father on the marriage cert.
According to FamilySearch Thomas Jones married Elizabeth Harrison 14th February 1875 at St Thomas Dudley.

Thank you in advance

There are trees on line showing Thomas Jones's parents as John Jones 1826 and Nancy Whitehouse 1829;Elizabeth Harrison's parents as David Harrison 1832 and Charlotte Lloyd 1832 -you should be able to check this on the census's.
regards.

Hi

Yes, I've seen those but wanted to disprove/prove parentage and I'm afraid I tend to take online trees without evidence with a large pinch of salt  John and Nancy's Thomas was born Tipton whereas the 1881 census shows Thomas born in Dudley. Obviously we have all found mistakes in census returns but as I have a Thomas Jones born same time from Dudley and we have the Jones surname I need a little more proof. The online trees give either a John Jones or Levi Jones as Thomas's father.  Unfortunately I'm in the US at the moment and, as it's only a side twig, I don't want to get a cert.

all made a cross

At least it's more help than mine-Mary Jones daughter of John Jones labourer.

You were right to check

Thank you so much Ciderdrinker 

I was hoping it was Levi! As you say, a little more imaginative with the first name.
