Hi,
to hopefully help other users, this query has been raised on this prior thread, which mentions the PR which you already have;

Sadly my search on Ancestry, LDS etc isn't showing anything more. Of the regular forum researchers if anyone could help further then I think it's the likes of MPGriffiths who'd be most likely, and she's already posted on the above-mentioned thread. Of course I'm very happy to be proven wrong !
This enquiry is complicated by fact Bromsberrow is on Herefordshire & Worcestershire border, so may need to visit Herefordshire FHS records.

The Census info suggests William MAY have married Maria in Overbury so (just) in Worcestershire ?.

Looking at the ages of them and their children, they were probably married between 1810 & 1817 ?

I've tried various searches on LDS etc for such a Marriage, and also a birth for Maria in Overbury area but without luck, hopefully someone else will find them.
