Hi Brent, welcome to the forum !
Must be quick I'm afraid as was about to shut down for the night, very late now in UK.
I see you've been on the site for a few years, and at first glance looks like you've followed the right trail from the PRs etc, I too cannot see a marriage to Ann, but early days yet.

Meanwhile, have you seen this related old thread, found from searching this forum. It doesn't answer your question but hopefully helps confirm your work so far, and includes the Marriage PR for John & Sarah.

Admin, please could you attach this new thread onto the old one, for easier reference, thanks ?

These are the Baptisms you mention, plus a few more possibles? that may ?? be the same family, not sure yet without seeing the Census's.

The Census shows John as born abt 1811, I think this MAY be his Baptism from this site's PRs ?;

Even knowing the witnesses at their marriage, Charles & Hannah James, I cannot start to guess a Baptism for wife Sarah James' baptism, despite the Census giving her birth abt 1816, there are several possibles to choose from... but none with parents Charles or Hannah ??
Assuming that is she was baptised locally, or maybe they are siblings, perhaps ??

SO, nothing more yet, and really must go now. Hopefully more progress tomorrow, J
