John,
There is a baptism in Handsworth in 1831 of a Marianne Hudson, father John, a FARMER, and mother Sarah. I believe that is John Hudson and Sarah Jubb.
This is more likely to be your correct marriage:
John Hudson to Sarah Harrison Sheffield 16th Feb 1833. That would make Sarah 4 months pregnant with William.
Note that on the 1841 census both John and Sarah were recorded as age 31. That means that their ages were NOT rounded by the enumerator. (Rounding was not universal . IF rounding was done then it was always down and always to a last digit 0 or 5)

Thanks Dave, I have found that marriage now and it is probably the correct one, need to see if I can now find more children of the marriage to John and sarah to see if they are with relatives which will prove if we are correct.ie Harrison.
must recheck 1841 census because if William is first it is even more of a good match.
I think the census of 1841 I found showing John Hudson and Sarah is wrong, the last person on the census is a Joseph Hudson aged 1. looking on the census it says the maiden name of the mother is Pinder but as yet I have not found a marriage of a John Hudson to a Sarah Pinder.
I did though find a William Hudson (1833) living with the harrison family in 1841 and The Howe family in 1851 ( a Harrison married a Howe by the looks of it) and in 1861 that William Hudson is with Ann and a daughter Sarah A aged 3. William was born in the Crosspool area.
I therefore wonder if both his parents had died hence the reason he wa with relatives.
Do you think now I am on the correct track? Need to find another John and Sarah Hudson on the 1841 census or burial index.
