For info.

living Wednesbury, Staffordshire

Joseph Small                      24 Paper Hanger. Darlaston
Mary Small                       20  Ledlow

SMALL, ALBERT  ALONZO  mmn  GOODHEAD    
1870  M Quarter in WEST BROMWICH  Volume 06B  Page 808


Alonzo remarried Mary/Margaret Mcmahon/Dili &
she divorced him in a nasty trial.

GOODHEAD, Mary Head Widow F 39 1832 Ennis, Ireland
GOODHEAD, Henry A Son M 2 1869 Wednesbury, Staffordshire

The 1867 marriage entry on West Midlands BMD gives Margaret's surname as DIBIN  ???

1867 Wednesbury, St Bartholomew
GOODHEAD Alonzo   
DIBIN     Margaret   

If this is the correct Henry & Albert from 1871c - GRO indexes show these mmn

GOODHEAD, HENRY  ARTHUR mmn DILLIN
