Looking for help where I have hit a brick wall with John Colley in Shropshire.

Information I have is:

John Colley
B: Abt. 1811 Shropshire (based on 1841 census)
D: April 1850 Madeley, Shropshire

Married Anne Bowyer (B: Abt. 1815): 31 March 1834, Astley Abbots, Shropshire
Children
Mary Ann Colley - B: 1834
Benjamin Colley - B: 1837
Eliza Colley - B: 1847
James Colley - B: 1849 D:1899
Jane Colley - B: 1851

The earliest references I can find to John are his marriage to Anne in 1834 (England, Select Marriages, 1538-1973) and in the 1841 census.

On the same page of the 1841 census are (Thomas Colley B: Abt. 1816) and Maria Colley (B: Abt. 1821), possibly related but no way of confirming.

Looking for help to find additional information on John or his parents/relatives.

Thanks in advance for the help

Thanks, so looks like Thomas isn't a relation as no corresponding father in the available options

Get a copy of the marriage certificate, it will tell you who he named as his father.

Is that possible for an 1834 marriage? From what I can see it's only 1837 onwards that I can order.
