Jude, as William was born in the workhouse infirmary it could be that he was already christened there - I have a couple of children in my tree born and christened in the workhouses.

Ooh Chris - thanks - these are great! Doesn't solve my search for their marriage or where William went but I didn't have these so it's great!!!!!
As was the norm it's a block booking :-) I wonder why William wasn't christened at same time?
Jude

New question added! Please go to last post!
A week or so ago I posted about William Fox/Mead - which proved to be a red herring so I deleted the post. I now have three pertinent certificates so reposting.
So here goes....
George Mead was my husband's gg-grandfather born Plympton Devon aorund 1835 (it varies from 1832 to 1835 in censuses).
1861 census
Name: George Maids [George Mead]
Age: 26
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1835
Relation: Head
Spouse's Name: Mary Ann Maids
Gender: Male
Where born: Plympton St Mary, Devon, England
Civil Parish: Plympton St Maurice
County/Island: Devon
Country: England
Street Address: 30 Fore Street Plymtpon
Occupation: Labourer
Condition as to marriage: Married
Registration District: Plympton St Mary
Sub-registration District: Plympton
ED, institution, or vessel: 8
Neighbors: View others on page
Household Schedule Number: 35
Piece: 1431
Folio: 15
Page Number: 6
Household Members:
Name Age
George Maids 26
Mary Ann Maids 24
Willm Fox 4 - stepson
John Maids 1 Months - son
So I searched for a marriage for George Mead to a Mary Ann and the only one that came up was in Chard in Q1 1861.
So this is the first certificate.....the George marrying Mary Ann Boon is a labourer, son of John also a labourer. MY George was the son of John (so far so good) but John was a carpenter/wheelwright. And then this George was 20 giving a year of birth as 1840/41 - much younger than George. Moreover, Mary Ann Boon was only 18...
The second certificate I purchased was that of my husbands g-grandfather James born just before the 1871 census. Father is George Mead and address is 8 Cambridge Lane East, Plymouth, the same as just weeks later in the census. Mother is Mary Ann Mead formerly Fox.
Finally, the birth certificate of stepson William Fox shows him to have been born 15 November 1856 in the Union Workhouse Plympton St Mary to Mary Ann Fox - no father named.
So in 1861, Mary Ann is living as George's wife.
I cannot find a marriage - I suspect they didn't marry at all. BUT CAN ANYONE FIND SOMETHING I AM MISSING?
So 1871 (I think the enumerator got their birthplaces transposed-and the ages are both wrong)
Name: George Mead
Age: 39
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1832
Relation: Head
Spouse's Name: Mary Ann Mead
Gender: Male
Where born: Yealmpton, Devon, England
Civil Parish: St Andrew
Ecclesiastical parish: Christchurch
Town: Plymouth
County/Island: Devon
Country: England
Registration District: Plymouth
Sub-registration District: St Andrew
ED, institution, or vessel: 10
Household Schedule Number: 231
Piece: 2119
Folio: 46
Page Number: 36
Household Members:
Name Age
George Mead 39
Mary Ann Mead 39
William Mead 14
John Mead 10
George Mead 7
Richard Mead 5
James Mead 2 Months
William is now shown as a Mead and as a son. And that is the last I have found of him for sure - either as Mead or Fox. And they are both very common West Country names. In this census he is shown as a drover.
SO CAN ANYONE FIND ANYTHING?
I'm fully expecting resounding "noes all round"!!!!!!!!!
