On Ancestry there's Joseph Firkin 1756 and Sarah Gutteridge 1755
A pile of kids mentioned including Zephinia and Hezekial and youngest child born 1831 Joseph Firkin!!!
That would make Sarah 76 years old !!
Joseph at 75 would probably still be able to but Sarah was long past her child bearing days!!
I'll have to check Joseph Firkin - Eliza Roberts's marriage for the identity of father.

Sorry if you already have this Rob...

1851: Stone Street, Oldbury, Worc
Joseph Firkin 20 Head Coalminer Wednesbury
Eliza Firkin 21 Wife Oldbury, Worc
Ann Roberts 5 Dau in Law (Step dau?) Oldbury, Worc

poss
1841: Upper Sqr? West Bromwich, Staffs
Hezikiah Firkins 30 Coalminer
Maria Firkins 30
Joseph Firkins 10
Hannah Firkins 9
Enock Firkins 4
Sarahund (Sarah Ann) Firkins 2
John Firkins 4 MO
(all born in County)

And in 1841 as you already know
1841 Stone Street,Oldbury
Zephinia Firkin head 30 Coal Miner
Sarah Firkin wife 30
Joseph Firkin son 10
Mary Firkin daug 7
Eliza Firkin daug 4
William Firkin son 18 months

So both Hezekiah and Zephinia had Joseph Firkin son aged 10.

Also Chalim Firkin is nowhere to be found on Ancestry!! Only Caleb Firkin!! The same fella?

it is odd
looks like Joseph is son of Joseph and Sarah on bapt
but
if this is marriage...
JOSEPH FERKIN
Spouse: SARAH GUTTRIDGE

then she could have been born 1770 but even so aged 60 for Joseph aged 10 is as you say daft!
