Sarah Davies 25 Head Marr Whitesmith Dudley Correction on Ancestry - Sarah Davies[Simeon Davies]
Sarah Davies 22 Wife Marr Staymaker Dudley
Maryann Davies 1 Dau

Marriage 1858
COOK Sarah DAVIS Simeon Lower Gornal, St James Dudley Register Office 215/001/194

1841-1851-1861 all say Joseph only that 1871 is incorrect
I have submitted info to Ancestry it does say Thomas on 1871 but that is incorrect.
Ihave added in Joseph and mother as Mary ann

poss marriage in 1838 will see if it says confectioner

can anyone add the census for this are you ok adding San?
