Mary Ann Birch & John Wesbury--To be Arc.
One of Samuel Birch & Phoebe Boweter's daughters was Mary Ann:
Name: BIRCH, MARY ANN
Mother's maiden name: BOWETER
GRO Reference: 1839 M Quarter in DUDLEY UNION Volume 18 Page 299
There is a possible marriage:
Marriages Jun 1865 (>99%)
Birch Mary Ann Dudley 6c 188
Wesbury John Dudley 6c 188
There is extra evidence as Mary appears in the 1891 Census, visiting in the household of her widowed brother-in-law William Short:
Mary A Wesbury Visitor Widow 52 assistant grocer Dudley Worcestershire
But I can't find Mary & John between their marriage and that Census Record.
Please can anyone find them?
Thanks.

Re: Mary Ann Birch & John Wesbury
Insert slaphead smiley here. I'd assumed that the search engines would find Westbury as an alternative spelling to Wesbury so hadn't looked for it independently.
I think that Census must be Coseley, as I said on the other thread I knew I'd seen Coseley somewhere, but I'd got it completely wrong, it's on Samuel & Phebe's son Thomas' (Mary Ann's brother) Baptism Record so those other records you found could well be relevant.
Thanks for the other info, I'll see what else I can dig out.
