William Whitehead

[Comberton]

It seems to point to his parents being John Whitehead and Sarah nee Dixon. They are easily followed through the years.
 
There is this baptism
3rd February 1850 Kingsbury
William Whitehead
parents John (labourer) and Sarah of Hurley
plus baptisms for 6 siblings 1840-1856

Unfortunately the vicar who married John and Sarah seldom recorded details of the fathers.

William doesn;t necessarily have to have headed to Sheffield with family. He's left home before marriage, being a lodger in Wilnecote in 1871. He may just have moved to where there was good work to be had. Not unusual in those days

However sister Fanny b 1857 marries Amos Moore in 1882, and by 1891 they are also in Sheffield

Yep that's the parents names I keep getting problem is any related family trees have that William Whitehead parents John and Sarah married to a Mary price with different children's names and in 1881 a coal miner.
Could he have been married to two women? Or am I missing something

[Comberton]

The William who married Mary Freeman and the William who married Mary Price are both recorded in 1881 with their respective families. The 1861 census even has two William Whiteheads living next door to each other and they may even be related. One is son of John and Sarah, other is son of William (deceased) and Ann, both baptised at Kingsbury in 1850 and 1848. Only the certificate of the Whitehead/Price marriage would show if he is the son of William and Ann. The William who married Mary Freeman has father as John, a labourer.
