Is there a marriage for Joseph & Mary?

ROUND, MARY ANN HAMMONDS.
GRO Reference: 1843 D Quarter in DUDLEY UNION Volume 18 Page 290

Kingswinford St Mary.
Marriage date 14 Mar 1831.
Joseph ROUND. Kingswinford.
Mary HAMMOND. Kingswinford.
Witness 1 Sarah HARRIS.
Witness 2 John PALMER.
Notes Bride and both witnesses sign by mark.

When I have been researching on Ancestry they brought up a Mary Pickrell( or Pickerel) born 1st March 1813, died
as spouse for Joseph Round with a marriage date of 7th October 1833 but I have no information in my own family history to support this. Family Search also shows Mary Pickerel as spouse.
The one thing I do have is the burial certificate for Joseph which shows he was buried on the 19th August. As the eldest Lucretia must have kept it and then Nathan kept hold of it after Lucretia died.
From the census records the correct Mary was born in Shropshire possibly in Hopton and was 30 in the 1841 census.

As an addenda there are two Joseph and Mary Rounds both roughly the same age. At one point Ancestry found an 1841 Census where the children's names were wrong.

The census returns showing in Jimmy's reply are incorrect. They need to have Lucretia as the eldest with Martha and Hannah in 1841, plus Mary Ann in 1851living New Ross until 1861 then Shepherds Fold 1861. Shepherds Fold is the address Nathan and Lucretia were writing to when they were in America.
On Connections Susannah Pickerel has no maiden name, found on Ancestry as Smith, married Sampson 26th December 1808 at Birmingham St Philip.

The address on the death records is not relevant in Census searching etc, Malt Mill Lane was Nathan and Lucretia's address. Presumably he went to stay with them at some point before he died.

Lucretia and Martha's father was a Nailer. not coal miner.

Those census's are for Joseph who married Mary Pickerell.

Joseph and family definitely nailers. I have Nathan's autobiography and he mentions Lucretia's family were involved in a nailer's strike around 1851, possibly the 1852 strike?
If Mary Hammond is correct then presumably Sarah was never mentioned by the family because she did not live long.
