9th Jan 1854, Dudley Parish Church
Joseph Barker, Minor, B, Miner, Dudley, Joseph Barker, Miner
Mary Ann Crewley, Minor, S, - Dudley, James Crewley, Brass Founder
By Banns.
Witnesses: Edward Baker; Edna Baker.

Poss 1861 Census:
Gosty Hill, RR

BAKER, Joseph Head Married M 25 1836 Nail Maker
BAKER, Mary Wife Married F 25 1836 Nail Maker
BAKER, Harriett Daughter F 4 1857
BAKER, Ann Daughter F 2 1859
BAKER, Mary A Daughter F 0 (1M) 1861
All born RR.

Occuoation doesn't match up though!

There's this one in 1861 too:

Woodside, Dudley
BAKER, Joseph Head Married M 29 1832 Iron Moulder
Mary Ann Wife Married F 22 1839
Mary Jane Daughter Unmarried F 1 1860
Matilda Jane Daughter Unmarried F 0 (5M) 1861

Again the occupation doesn't tie up, and Mary Ann would have only been 15 at the time of the marriage!!

This one's got me, can't find Mary Ann before the marriage, well nothing convincing. This is the only thing that even sort of matches!

Can you see Mary Ann pre marriage anywhere? When I was searching this morning there were loads of other spellings that came up, but very few Crewley's. So it's probably down as something unexpected!!!

25 Dec 1852 St Thomas Dudley

That looks good for Joseph's brother.
