Where to go now?

[softly softly]

Have I got the wrong end of the stick with this post(it would not be the first time)

Firstly how do you know the exact baptism dates of Joseph & Elizabeth?

I ask because if the 1861 census that has been posted is the correct one for Ann Maria Reeves then her mother Elizabeth Reeves was born c 1827 in Leicester.

She then appears in 1871 census.

Elizabeth Waring Head 62 born Hinckley
Elizabeth Reeves Daughter 44=c1828 Widow born Leicester
Ann Maria 18 born Deepfields
Mary 14 born Northamptonshire
George Henry Reeves 5 born Leicester --as below

REEVES, GEORGE  HENRY     mmn GOODMAN 
GRO Reference: 1865  D Quarter in LEICESTER  Volume 07A  Page 197

In 1861 census Elizabeth Warring is with her husband Thomas and her mother Hannah Burton b c1784

Marriage 25.12.1836 Sheepshed, Leicester, Thomas Waring & Eliza Burton

Cannot work out where the Goodman comes in though.

Snap John just about to post that 1871 and the George Henry birth.  Looking for a Goodman connection.

[Milliepede]

Marriage 25.12.1836 Sheepshed, Leicester, Thomas Waring & Eliza Burton

So that marriage is too late for Elizabeth born c1827 so previous marriage for mum perhaps?
But if she was Burton at birth then Waring that doesn't fit either   

[Milliepede]

Don't want to confuse things too much but could this be 1871 for the Thomas & Eliza Waring who married in 1836? 

Thomas Waring head 56
Eliza wife 64
Samuel lodger 27 married
Elizabeth lodger 28 married

ties in with the ages on 1861 with Samuel being son

Hi John and Milliepede... I found Joseph Reeves and Elizabeth Goodman thru Family search Parish records, I can't find any census records including them. There are 4 Ann Maria Reeves. I have her marriage certificate which gives me Joseph and her birth certificate which gives me Goodman. I am struggling to find their marriage and can't resolve any other issues. Ann Maria Reeves married and died in Leicester but she was born in staffordshire. I'm still trying to prove I have the right Joseph and the right Goodman ! I don't think you got the wrong end of the stick at all. Finding Joseph the deserter
threw me.
The George Reeves I found was baptised at St Editha, Tamworth, 15th Aug 1853 the same place as Ann Maria, parents are Joseph and Elizabeth. There's another in West Bromwich 12 April 1840 to Joseph and Elizabeth... so can you see what I'm up against? I know this must be quite normal . There are couple of family trees in FindMyPast that we are always crossing over but there are also several mistakes so I don't want to get into that route, if you know what I mean.
Regards Libby (confused and undecided!)
I need to check out the 1861 census yet.

Yes Jonw65 that is the Joseph I think belongs to me. It's the rest of it that doesn't make sense!
Thank you! regards Libby

Just double checking. Did your gggrandmother Ann Maria Reeves marry William Ward in 1873. Does she name her father and his occupation. It appears she is on 1881 census but by 1891 William is a widower. Her death aged 32 in1885 Leicester.

Info only

Elizabeth Reeves C1848) daughter of Joseph & Elizabeth Reeves married George Steele Bashforth 22.4.1877. Her father recorded as Joseph Reeves occupation Brickmaker

While looking for other children I found George, he was baptised 15 Aug 1853, Ann Maria was born 24 march 1853. the address is Deepfields.

FreeReg has the baptisms at High Street Primitive Methodist, Bilston.

Burial
27 Sep 1853, Christ Church, Coseley
George Reeves
Abode Deepfields
Age 2 yrs 7 mo

REEVES, GEORGE       
Age at Death (in years):  2 
GRO Reference: 1853  S Quarter in DUDLEY  Volume 06C  Page 52

So George should have been born just before the 1851 census.
