You don't need to get the marriage certificate all the details are on freereg.

Thomas and Sarah are not with parents in 1841

Okay, that's good - thanks for the info. about freereg.

Maybe David ROSE is on the 1841 census (about 30/40 years old in Rowley Regis (hopefully only one as a furnace man)?
