Hi, I am trying to find a marriage for Enoch Phillips to a Mary ?? would have been early to mid 1800s probably in the Wolvehampton district. They had a son John born 1841 in Denbighshire. Also if anyone can find parents etc of Enoch would be much appreciated. Thank you Diane.

Why do you think the marriage would have been in Wolverhampton area if son was born Denbighshire?
