    Missing bride?

    Hi - can anyone please help me out with this one?

    I have birth cert of SARAH JANE KILBY, born 3rd July 1852 at Burton on Trent.

    Her parents are JOSEPH KILBY and JANE PALMER (at least I think it's Palmer ... it's a bit smudgey).

    Trying to find JOSEPH and JANE'S marriage. They were married by 1851 and living in B'ham with their son John (I think he died in 1854 as he's not on 1861 census).

    JOSEPH was born c1824 Leicester and JANE c1825 at Burton, Staffs.

    I've found a possible marriage for JOSEPH KILBY in Leicester Q2 1850 Vol 15 Pg 183, but none of the brides were named JANE.

    Any thoughts / help would be appreciated ....

    This may be too early and a bit too much diffrence with his surname to be the correct one but there is a Joseph KIBLER and a Jane Palmer in 4th qtr 1840 warwick reg. district.

    when was there son John born?

    It says on the 1851 census that Jane was born in Birmingham (Warwickshire) not Burton. My guess is that they probably got married in Birmingham since she came from there and they are living there in 1851.

    Not sure whether John G Kilby is age 1 mon or 7 mon on the 1851 census, and it doesn't give his birthplace, but I can't see a birth or death for him. BUT, there is a George Walter Kilby born Jun quarter 1851 and died Sep quarter 1851, both events in Birmingham district. Don't know whether that's him or a red herring!

    So are there two Janes? One on the 1851 and the other (Palmer) on the 1861 (says Staffs for that one)? Not that I can find any marriage entry that helps other than that 1840 one, which would seem a bit early...........

    I was trying to sort out John G as well, Kite!

    I can't even find them in 1861! But Jane does say born Burton Staffs in 1871 too.

    Joseph isn't there, just Jane, children and her parents-in-law.

    I couldn't read Jane's birthplace

    Should it say Uttoxeter? The end of the word looks right. I didnt realise Uttoxeter was in Staffs!

    Looks like an attempt at "Uttoxeter".

    Yes, it's Staffordshire, or at least it was then.
