Look in search trees to find any possible links on this site

His birthplace will be on any census on which he appears.................

The marriage will be very difficult to find, unless you have some idea of Mary's maiden name........the names of both parties are not remotely unusual.

Was the birth of any child registered?

wondering if this is Sarah Ann

Births Jun 1842 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jones Sarah Ann Greenwich 5 224


or this as her sister had 3 names

Births Sep 1842 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

JONES Sarah Ann Maria Greenwich 5 194

Thanks for the info. William's wife is listed as Mary A. in one census. I haven't pinned down his birth yet as there are several 'candidates' in Kidderminster. I also don't send for certificates as it costs money. I suppose that what I was really asking was "Is there anybody in the Genes Reunited community who have any of this family in their own tree?"

In that case........look in 'search trees', as advised before.

Have you done anything about looking on freebmd for a possible marriage..............

We are all aware that getting certs costs money, but that is often the ONLY way to get info....especially with common names.
