Well I was hoping to find a marriage for William Priest and Mary Sidaway between 1851 and 1861 but no luck, perhaps they didn't marry?

1861. Bakers Fold. Rowley Regis.
William Priest 60.
Mary Priest 42.
Reuben Priest 15.
Samuel Priest 10.
Joseph Priest 5.
Mary A Priest 7.
Elizabeth Priest 2.

1851. Wilkes Fold. Rowley Regis.
William Priest 48. Nailer.
Mary Sidaway 33. Lodger.
Thomas Sidaway 10. Son.
Ruben Sidaway 5. Son.
Jane Sidaway 3. Dau.
Samuel Sidaway 1. Son.

I'm not sure Jimmy but it seems too much of a coincidence for it not to be right doesn't it?

That's what I thought,
I couldn't see a marriage either.

Can't find a death for a Mary Sidaway that fits but found this one...

Death Mar 1876
PRIEST Mary 60 Dudley 6c 14

so if we have the correct one, she must have married him?

She may have not have married and just took his name.

adding the following but could do with a few baptisms for the children

Could not see any baptisms.
