ARC-Phoebe Higgs Husband Richard

Post by maryann »

Phoebe b. 1823 dau of Edward Higgs (on BCC) married a Richard 1841. The problem is:
IGI Listing shows
Richard POSTAN Father Thomas POSTAN
Phebe Higgs Father Edward Higgs
St. Martin, Tipton 1841

BMSCH shows
Richard POPLAR to Phoebe Higgs St. Martin, Tipton (Pepper Box) SRO 39/2/193 1841 and

Free BMD
Richard POSTAR
Phebe Higgs
3rd Qtr. 1841
Dudley
I cannot find them on the 1851 Census using any of these spellings, can someone take a look and see if they can find them? I did find an 1841 census entry that could be Richard:
1841 Tipton, Staff.
Thomas Postin 55 Lab
Martha Postin 55
Thomas Postin 20
RICHARD Postin 20
John Postin 15
