Long shot - maybe Mary and John Cooper were sibs.... if so then Mary Bowen is our girl... trying to work out which is the right marriage or am I thinking too much

NL
I have 2 possible marriages for William and Mary...which one!
I would have thought St Thomas as the kids seem to be bapt there.


WILLIAM DARBY
Spouse: MARY COOPER
Marriage: 07 MAY 1813 Halesowen, Worcester,
Extracted
-----

WILLIAM DARBY
Spouse: MARY BOWEN
Marriage: 21 FEB 1813 Saint Thomas, Dudley, Worcester,
Extracted

1841
Wordsley Green, Kingswinford
Wm Darby 50
Mary Darby 45
Wm Darby 15
Mary Ann Darby 15
Mark Fern Quarry 2
Elizabeth Parkes 25
all b in county

2 doors away
John Cooper 44
Sarah Cooper 40
Ann Cooper 15
Samuel Cooper 15
Hannah Cooper 11
Willm Cooper 8

in 1851 they are still living 2 doors away
1861 Mary and 2 boarders living next door to John Cooper

If those neighbours turn out to be Mary Darby (nee cooper) and John cooper as sibs then wont Mary cooper be our girl?
I am confused now


foot note...gottcha! that is a diff Wm and mary!
clever!

Ok guys well I am done on this one now and have put it all on.

I cant see on IGI which parents to Mary Cooper and John but cos they are so close to each other on the census as FS flags they got to be related and prob sibs- so will put a note on Connections.
