I am stuck on my 3rd great grandfather and dont know where to go from here. Charles Heath was born according to censuses and his death cert. around 1824 in Warton, Warwickshire. He moved to Atherstone by the 1851 census and married Harriot Quimby from Seckington and had a son called William. I cant find a marriage cert for Charles and Harriot so am not sure but there is a Charles Heath on the 1841 census age 15 and what i presume is his father William age 45 but no mother. Charles and Harriot moved to stoke on trent by the 1861 census and stayed here till they both died. According to the later census for William Heath he was born about 1800 and married a Catherine Collins who was his housekeeper. Could anyone please help and tell me how i could find out more?

I think you are going to have to search the PR's held at War.CRO.The births for Warton don't start until the 1840's on IGI.
It looks as though they didn't marry but the 1841 census looks the right one as Polesworth is only a mile from Warton & there are no other Charles Heath's around.
If you find his birth you will probably find William's first marriage,however in the meantime you can send for William's marriage as this will tell you his father's name.

Thanks for help on Charles and William, think you are right best to try for Williams marriage cert first. Hate to sound a bit thick but what are PRs?
