Find Ancestors

Trying to find William Pinfold/Penfold born around 1822 in Tachbrook, Warwickshire, mother Sarah who later married a WIlliam Cox.

I have found him on the 1841, 1861 and 1871 census.

On the 1861 and 1871 census he is married to a Mary Ann born around 1820 in Suffolk.

I cannot seem to find their marriage, if they actually got married.

Hope someone can help.

This looks like Mary Ann Fold(from Gritty's 1850 marriage above) - her age is a bit out but her father is a bricklayer ?

Dea- I was just looking into that- I don't think it's our William. I think that marriage belongs to this WIlliam:

Baptism
Name: William Penfold
Gender: Male
Baptism Date: 30 Apr 1827
Baptism Place: Easebourne,Sussex,England
Father: Peter Penfold
Mother: Jane

I think the way forward is to research the Dennis family
