Default Who did James Hawkins marry?

James and Sarah Hawkins are the parents of my 3g grandfather William Hawkins. William was baptised at St Martin Birmingham on 21 May 1827.

He had 3 siblings:
James baptised 24 Dec 1821 at St Phillip Birmingham
John baptised 31 December 1825 at St Martin Birmingham
Jane baptised 5 June 1830 at St Martin Birmingham.

James, James and William are on the 1841 census together:
1841 Census James Hawkins

Sarah and Jane are elsewhere in 1841:
1841 Census Sarah Hawkins

In 1851 James and Sarah are together, along with William and Jane. I have no idea where James Jr and John went.

1851 Census Hawkins family

I put all this to show where they were born. James was born in Staffordshire, Sarah in Hampshire and the children all in Warwickshire.

I can not find a suitable marriage in any of those counties and Sarah is younger than James so there is not a lot of leeway to have children elsewhere before James Jr.

Can someone please have a second look or give ideas where you think they might have married, assuming they did.

Sarah died between the 1851 and 1861 census and James died in Wolstanton in 1862.

I found the register on ancestry with Hawkins mistranscribed in 2 different ways.

Neither the marriage nor the banns give an occupation for James and both were of the parish so I can't rule them out. They also didn't have children in the parish so that didn't help either.
