family of William & Ann (Brooks) Edwards

[Treelimb]

Looking for more information on the children of William (1818-1883) & Ann (1820-1896 Edwards. They both died in Shropshire county. I have 1851, 1861,1871 & 1881 census for them. I have records of child Mary Ann (1842-1933) married to Richard Hatton. I have birth registrations of their children Mira/Myra b.1851, Ann b. 1854 & William Henry "Harry" b.1859. I am looking for information on other children Joseph (in 1881 census with sib Mary Ann Hatton) & James and possibly another William born/died earlier.
Ann (my direct ancestor)is found in 1871 census with sister Mary Hatton. I have nothing after that until she shows up in USA in 1880. So looking for passage, possibly via Canada & also wonder if she had illegitimate child Frank/Francis ?1876. She mentions her sister Mary Ann & brother Harry back in England in her obit.
Any information to trace or complete my records on this family. Thank you

I'll keep the 1871 census in mind, but I am not sure about this marriage, as I think this is him in the 1881 census with his sister, Mary Ann Hatton. (his age 34, occupation steward).

Joseph on the 1881 census is enumerated as married, but no wife with him.

Thanks Annette for the info on 2 Williams! And a 1841 census too.

Osprey - missed that married on 1881 census.
