I added Martha Tibbetts to Bcc on the basis of a census entry for 1861 when she was said to be with her brother Simeon Tibbetts.
However, I have not found any other trace of this Martha Tibbetts and it may be that the person enumerated as Martha Tibbetts is actually Sarah Ann Woodhall, Simeon's half-sister.

isnt sarah with mother on 1861?

1851
21
Dudley Road, Peg Alley, Sedgley
Matilda Woodall 46 - Nailmaker
Simeon Tibbets 19 - Chainmaker
Fanny Tibbets 17 - Nailmaker
Sarah A Woodall 3 - b Sedgley
James Tromans 18 - Lodger - Chainmaker
others b Rowley

1861
227
Peartree Street, Rowley
Thomas Troman 71 - Nail maker
Mary Troman 71 - Nail maker
James Troman 28 - gas fitting maker
Metilda Woodall 49 - daug - Widow
Sarah Woodall 13
all b Rowley

The marriage dates for Simeon are on BCC but no further info?
Do we have it?
May be it should be sister in law?

Theres this

I do think it should be sister in law and the Hickman family are living next door to Simeon in 1861.

Well done, Jo, I think you have the solution! I've deleted Martha from Bcc.

Extracted.
MARTHA HICKMAN.
Christening, 18 MAR 1849. Sedgley, Stafford.
Parents:
JOHN HICKMAN.
SARAH.

I have amended the census information for Simeon Tibbetts for 1861 on Bcc, with a note re. Martha.
I do have the copy of the marriage certificate for Simeon and Hannah, looked up by RF. My apologies for having forgotten to add the information - I'll put right later today.

Thanks richtea that would be great if you can add the marriage info in the notes for bride and groom
it really helps when others are after info

so you have the marriages you need and is this completed if so I will archive

Complete as far as Martha is concerned, but we now have unresolved Hickman issues.

We could have another thread for the Hickmans and go through that?
