Thanks all your help i think only definite will be to send for the birth cert .I also couldn,t read Dursad on census just guessing they teachers?.Also agree with Acutts i think i remember he in same sort of job as william waltho

Although it doesn't help it is worth remembering that it appears to have been quite common for someone getting married to "Inflate" their fathers occupation so that it sounded a bit more "Respectable".

Perhaps a commercial traveller sounded a bit more acceptable than a chainmaker or even a public house keeper.

Looks like the Acutts, but guessing just friends - won't help us I suspect:

1861 England Census

Name: Marianne Acutt
Age: 25
Estimated birth year: abt 1836
Relation: Wife
Spouse's name: William

Marianne Acutt 25
Harry Acutt 10 Mo

What a terrible name for you to be researching - I have Lewises in Wolverhampton so I know what it's like. Thank goodness she married Mr. Waltho!
It's a bit much to encourage someone to get a birth cert .,especially when it's not 100% certain, but you might need to if you want to find out more.

Thats the census i have but was unsure because of changing of jobs.The church they married at was St Marks Wolverhampton and witnesses William and Marianne Acutt

Just placing them:

Sub-registration district: Wednesbury

Joseph TaylorSenr 35 (publican)

Wednesbury is one of those areas which because of the proximity of several registration districts sometimes make it difficult to pin down someones birth registration. I have in the past found the birth registration of people who claimed Wednesbury as their birthplace being registered in West Bromwich, Walsall and Bilston (Wolverhampton).

I wonder whether this might be your Sarah's birth registration:

Births Sep 1840 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Taylor Sarah Helen W. Bromwich 18 525

EDIT: Snap Jan (lol)

This might be her birth -West Brom. covered Wednesbury back then, and Helen/Ellen were interchangeable.

Births Sep 1840 (>99%)
Taylor Sarah Helen W. Bromwich 18 525

Might help if all else fails!

Who are the witnesses on the marriage cert?
