Can you help me find parents of William Osborne b 1753

William was born in Aston, Birmingham, UK and he was married to Susannah Undril. who possibly came from somewhere near or in a Wolverhampton farm.

Okay, use that marriage certificate as your foundation. Here is how I would proceed. First, do some weeding.

1. For all the children not born in Birmingham, Warwickshire and not with mother Susannah: Detach them from both parents and also detach their historical records from both parents. Do this from each child's profile. Do this first.
2. For all the wives other than Susannah Undril, detach their spouse William Osborne and also detach their historical records, if any, from him. Do this from each wife's profile.
3. Merge the two profiles for Susannah Undril. One historical record is attached to both:

Then, starting from the 1775 marriage certificate, develop Susannah Undril's profile and the profiles of her family. Her surname is super rare, with only 70 historical records globally in Family Search. Use that fact. Notice the handful of Undril records from Warwickshire, many in Aston. Consider also other spellings. In Birmingham, Warwickshire similar sounding names include Undrill and Undrell. Globally they too are rare: Family Search has about 3500 historical records in total.

To see the weeds I find it helpful to draft a basic timeline in a text editor. Like this:

1753 marriage to Sarah Holland in Westminster, London

Thanks so much for your help. I'll use your information on Ancestry as I managed to screw up Familysearch record and couldn't get out of the mess I got into. Your help has been invaluable and I'm so grateful; I've been trying for so long to get these people sorted out.

They had a son called Adam Thomas Osborne and two or three daughters.

His person ID or PID is MVNR-FHB. It has some obvious conflation:

• The attached 1753 marriage record for example does not relate to him. The record, and also the bride named in the record, should be detached from him.
• His daughter in law Sarah Bridge is attached to him as a daughter.

Fix up some of these issues and any others you can find. That may be enough to get his parents popping up in a Research Hint.

But I have certificates that state that William Osborne was married to Susannah Undril and his date of birth matches with the marriage certificate. So which William Osborne is it, then, can you help there?
