thank you for your very quick reply,I will now be able to get the certificates.Can you help me with the marriage record of george child and ann williams around 1840.Upton upon severn.thankyou.

No luck so far, I'm afraid.
But here is a train of thought which could be a complete red herring.
In 1851 the family appear to be living in Staunton with children Mary Ann (8), Marian (6), William (2) and George (1) (repeated name in his memory?). Ann is 40, George senior is 34.
With them is a 'relative' George Jones aged 19.
There is a George Jones born in Hanley Castle in 1831 to parents George and Anne. Perhaps Ann Williams was previously married to George Jones.
Having said that, I can't find a marriage matching any of these names :(

Thank you for your interest in these relatives of mine.I sent for a marriage certificate for an ann jones to george child in 1846 kidderminster vol.18 page 532.but I was informed that these 2 were on that page but not married to each other.the problem i am having is the name williams born hay-on wye.
there is an ann dalby married to a george child but i cannot match this.i am beginning to think they were never married!.I think perhaps i should get the birth certificate of william george child born 19/4/1840.died 23/12/1840 to ann child and george child.hanley castle.perhaps this might give me a clue to ann child.there is a census for 1841 for ann child,george child,george jones,eliza jones and a sophia canton.thankyou .jan.

Thank you for all the info i will have to digest this and get a certificate to try and fathom out if george child/s married ann jones who was a williams (birth name.) or perhaps never married george child at all.
-
What we seem to think is that Ann was a Widow when she married George Child/s.
Possible Marriage FreeBMD 1838
Her 1st Marriage may have been to a George Jones before 1831 possibly in Wales.
Marriage not found.
The Birth Cert of any of the Child children should confirm this.
Possible Death Reg;
JONES, GEORGE age 29
GRO Reference: 1837 S Quarter in MARTLEY Volume 18 Page 269

thank you for your interest.I have sent for the marriage certificate of g.child/s and a jones.1838
so we might be able to put it together then.the birth certificates of the children of ann & george still state mother as williams though. jan.

Sorry confused to your ref to the Birth Certs?
I childs Cert should say, Mother Ann Childs, formerly Jones, nee Williams if what we think is correct.

Hello,The birth certificates of the children do not say mother ann child/s formerly jones,nee williams.
perhaps if I got the first birth cert.for william george child/s born march died dec 1840 it might say this!.jan.
-
Which birth certificates have you got?
I thought you hadn't ordered any yet.
Are you referring to the entries in the index?
