I am trying to find the the parents of Richard Edwards b about 1816 Staffordshire who married Hannah/Susannah Garbett (uses both names) 13 December 1837 at Collegaite Church Wolverhampton Staffordshire, Richard Died between 1846/1851, he named his father as Thomas on the marr Document and they were both miners.

Hannah then Marr Thomas Edwards b about 1819 Brosley Shropshire, 29 January 1879 Ryders Green West Bromwich and died they married 1 June 1857 at St. Philips Church Birmingham and names his father Richard Edwards, Thomas also was a miner.

I have them on the census from 1841 so not with their parents , I have tried to find them before with no luck so thought I would try again I'm at a dead end with them.
