I can't see one at the moment or a birth registration for Sarah, maybe that is why she was Parry.

I will keep looking  :)

Thanks so much for doing. There's a marriage in Ruabon, which could be correct from a locality point of view, between an Edward Jones and a Hannah Parry, but it's too early - 1840 she was only born 1829/30.

Hello from Chris in Australia.
😁

With RC help I discovered that my Prussian Ancestors' name changed from LOCHER to LECHER.
This was upon marriage and immediately before emigrating to Australia. Presumably they imagined this "Anglicised" the name???
Didn't do that, anyway.
But it was a surprise.

The FreeBMD index for this marriage had her surname as Parvey

Very good find, Mabel Bagshawe! And if you look at the actual marriage cert. her surname looks very much like Parrey to my eyes.

The 1861 census has Sarah's birthplace as Welshpool. I think this was in Montgomery RD at that time.
Worth considering is the birth of a Sarah Parry Jul - Sep 1854 Montgomery RD ( no mother's name recorded).
