The 1861 census on Ancestry says 'Coleshill, Warwickshire' - not Worcestershire - which I think is correct.
I don't remember Coleshill being near the Worcester border,

Weedon - Australia, Hertfordshire; Paterson - Scotland; Elmer - Huntingdon; Ball, Lloyd, Warren - Birmingham; Branson - Bucks;

Apologies- the 1861 transcription from fmp states Worcestershire- but image states Coleshill, Warwickshire.

Do you have members of this family on any other census Zena?

hi everyone thanks for your work
that is sarah on the 71 census its her birth i am trying to find
that is the only census i know is definatly her
marriage cert gives her one birth date and death cert gives her another (she drown 1880)
sylvania free b m d is dificult because there are so many birmingham births,
or was she registered in an outlying birmingham suburb hence my original question.
i went to wdytya saturday and one of the experts suggested i follow up this sarah (1861 census)saying martha would be an easier name to follow
thanks again

I'm not certain, but I suspect Martha was actually Mary- but was called Martha to distinguish from mother.

So we're trying find Sarah's birth- which is consistently Castle Bromwich- who does she list as her father on the marriage certificate?

on her marriage certificate her father is joseph.
mary and joseph as parents ha ha
