I have split this off from the Plants thread to see if we can go through this...

27 Dec 1841 - Sedgley, All Saints
Jon Vanes, FA, B, Malt Mill Maker, of Dudley, Father Joseph Vanes, Nailer
Ruth Maria Plant, FA, Spinster, of Dudley, Father William Jones, Pattern Ring Maker
Wit : Thomas Fieldhouse and John Pugh
(She is a Spinster and her father is definitely William Jones)

I think its a mistake that Ruth Maria is down as Spinster and her previous marriage is
groom's name: William Lavender Plant
bride's name: Ruth Maria Jones

marriage date: 1828
marriage place: St. Martin, Tipton, Stafford,

Extracted IGI
JOHN SOUTHALL MARY ANN JONES
Marriage: 30 JUL 1832 Tipton, Stafford, England

I think this needs to be archived till we get the look ups.

I have connected up...
I think Ruth Maria married William Lavender Plant
Extracted IGI
RUTH MARIAH JONES WILLIAM LAVENDER PLANT
23 JUN 1828 Tipton, Stafford

and his son, Benjamin is with his Uncle and Aunt, John Southall Mary Ann Jones in 1851.
