"Complete"Benjamin Arthur or Arthurs

[mumbles]

On Freereg marriage St. Thomas Dudley 13/4/1846
Benjamin Arter bach. Labourer Dudley father Thomas Arter Blacksmith
Mary Malpas sp. Dudley father Joseph Malpas Farmer
Witnesses James & Mary Ann Malpas

Cannot find Malpass or Arthur families in 1841 and Surnames on Freereg are obviously wrong

1851 Census Tansey Green Kingswinford Stourbridge Staffs.
Benjamin Arthur Head 24 Coal Miner born Claverley Shrops.
Mary Arthur wife 26 born Bobbington Staffs.
William Arthur son 3 Scholar born Sedgley Staffs.
Mary Ann Arthur dau 1 Scholar
Thomas Arthur visitor 77 Labourer born Wivil ? Shrops.
Mary Arthur visitor 67 born Kingswinford Staffs.

I have Arthur family Census upto 1911 and surname changes to Arthurs after 1891 All children of Benjamin and Mary are registered as mother Malpass
