Looking at the 1861 census below, the birth in Northfield seems a possiblity despite the 1871 also below.

Is the birth in Northfield not 1827 and not 1820/21?

The record on freereg is birth & baptism 1827, however death & census 1820/21.

Most census returns shows birth as Birmingham except the 1861 which is Worcestershire, at that time dates were not so important as today, so maybe when asked the question she was wrong.

Northfield is about 6 miles south west of Birmingham.

" In 1881 and 1891 she lives with some of her children "

What names and ages for the children living with her?

What names and ages for children not living with her?  Where are they?

What other information do you see on the marriage certificate?

What names for witnesses?  What church are they married in?  Any addresses?

Son Samuel was buried St Phillip's Birmingham 30 December 1850 aged 7 weeks son of Samuel and Priscilla address Moor Street.

Ref: ancestry image

FindMyPast burials
Samuel Onions, age 36 (b. circa 1814), 15 May 1850, cemetery - Parish of St Philip

1841 Census - at the moment only found a Samuel Onions, age 25, occpn. Groom, not born in County. He's in Woodsides Township, Shifnal Parish.

"Groom" falls in the category of servant. Yet to spot this Samuel in 1851.

FindMyPast baptisms (image/transcript)

Samuel Onions, base son of Elizabeth Onions, bap 20 Nov 1814, place Weston, Parish of Weston under Lizard (Stafford). This is within spitting distance of Shifnal.

So, how to (a) rule him out or, better still (b) establish link to Priscilla?

Note that naming "convention" links his mother to Priscilla's daughter.

Doesn't a death cert include "Occupation" - tho' no guarantee it will be completed/entered?
