I would be most grateful for help in finding the Marriage of Charles WHILE to a lady named Jane, somewhere in Birmingham, Warwickshire, around 1837-1840. Census records inform me that Charles was a Brass Caster, born in London, Middlesex around 1813 - 1816. The couple's supposed first child, Fanny WHILE, was born around 1840. Daughter Jane and son Charles followed, in c. 1842 and 1846, respectively.The couple died in Aston in 1878 and 1875, respectively. I'm trying to find Charles' parents, but meeting great difficulty!

Thank you for any assistance.
Vic

Many thanks, Maddie. This is the right family. Unfortunately, I have found nothing in 1851, and the 1861 Census gives the Surname as WHITE!

The birth certificate of one of the children should give you their mother's maiden name which may help find, or confirm a marriage!

Have you considered the possibility that Charles, and or, Jane were not their first names?
It was not uncommon that someone who had a middle name used their middle names on the census records, but official records were recorded under their first names.

Other points to consider:-
Could be that the couple never married?
Maybe he, or she, was married to someone else?
