Two Freereg marriages for same persons but one shows her as Mary Ann Baker and the other as Mary Ann Vanes
Children are all registered as Vanes

Freereg Marriage 11/6/1846 St. John Dudley
Samuel Shakespeare bach. Nailer Evehill father not shown
Mary Anne Vanes sp. Dudley father Septimus Vanes Nailer
Witness :- Martha Shakespeare
Other Witness not Shown

Another record :-
Freereg Marriage 9/6/1846 St. John Dudley
Samuel Shakespeare bach. Nailer Evehill father not shown
Mary Anne Baker sp. Dudley father Septimus Baker Nailer
Witness :- Martha Shakespeare
Other Witness not Shown

That is strange?
The family are recorded on census as Vanes. I would just make a note of it.

It is strange.

Is this the Martha who is the witness? Her son Paul seems to be with Samuel and Mary Anne in 1851, along with a Joseph Hadley

with these being the John and Rosannah that Samuel is with in 1841.

the marriage is a typo error and should read Vanes there was only one marriage the 9 June one

John Shakespeare born 1840
appears to marry a Christiana Price
Freereg marriage 23/9/1860 All Saints Sedgley
John Shakespeare 20 Bach. Nailer Shavers End no father details
Christiana Price 28 Sp. Shavers End no father details
Witnesses :- John Bridges & Mary Ann Williams

But :- Christiana is shown as 28 and in subsequent Census details she is born 1840 to 1841

I cannot find John Shakespeare in 1851 or both John and Christiana in 1861 after marriage

This is Christina in 1841

Jimmy Has :-

1861. The Barracks, Dudley.
John Shakespere 21. Horse nail maker. Dudley.
Hannah Shakespere 20. Dudley.

That must be John Shakespeare and Christiana

All added with notes and some connections made but could not confirm Hadley to Shakespeare connection
