Thank you everyone. Sorry about the late reply
Ann Elizabeth Darbey-Burden is my gt grandfathers sister.

All this information has helped me to see the GR member who thought we shared the same family is mistaken

Thanks again

I wonder if the William Darby on the 1861 census is actually Martha's brother and not her son - William Danks who was 2 years old in 1851 census.

I was looking for the marriage in Dudley. It just shows you shouldnt presume to look where you think it should be

That is my family in 1861. Can you find another Alfred Darbey/Darby born 1859/1860 Sedgley?to sort this out for us

Thank you
