Checked the marriage certificate, and yes, his father's name was John. Occupation - saddler. Looks like it's them!

Jax - it certainly could be him - DOB is about right and place of birth. I'll check the marriage certificate when I get home later.

Thanks again for the speedy responses and help

It says she is married so it is just a mistake with the surname

I agree
Regards Carol

It does say that she is married.Just her mum or dad forgot to give her married name.
Or maybe the enumerator made the mistake.

My g g grandparents Charles Pearce and Amy Hitch married in Birmingham on 04/08/1879 (I have the certificate). I'm trying to locate them on the 1881 census but to no avail (there are another Charles and Amy Pearce but they're not mine). However, I have found Amy in the 1881 census, still under the name of Hitch, living with her family. And yet in 1891, Charles and Amy are living together.
This has confused me because I know I have the right couple but can't work out why Amy is Hitch in 1881?
Any sugestions gratefully received.
