Right here goes
JANE SIMS married JAMES BIRCH in 1845 but by the 1851 census she is listed as wife to JOSEPH SOLOMON . He was from Poland and was Jewish.
From what I have been told Jane was known as REBECCA to her jewish family and friends ,
In 1851 she is in Ashton-under-lyne
I have the birth certificate of one of her children,he was born in 1853 in Wigan she is shown as Jane Solomon nee Sims on that

Hope the above information is useful
Thank you any help will be appreciated

1853 they are in Wigan
1861 they are in Manchester

Not what you're after, but possibly related? The additon of an S at the end of Solomon may rule it out

Jewish Chronicle, 11 April 1873, page 17

Marriage on 2nd April at Hanley by Rev Prof Isaacs of Manchester of Sarah, daughter of Mr J. Solomons of Hanley to Mr A. Biurski of Burslem. [Sarah Solomons June 1873 Manchester 8d 813 and Abraham Biurski]

From the same edition, but a different page
Jewish Chronicle, 11 April 1873, page 16

First Jewish wedding at Hanley was held in the temporary synagogue in Foundry Street. In the afternoon provisions were given to 100 poor persons in Hanley by the bridegroom ‘’who preferred this charitable mode of celebrating his wedding to making the customary honeymoon trip’

There are local indexes available at http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/local_bmd

The 3 local index collections I'm using here all index using the actual year of birth.
Here Joseph must have been born in Dec 1850, but not rego'ed until after the new year (as the GRO indexes by quarter of registration).

Sorry to confuse you,I have the marriage certificate between JANE SIMS and JAMES BIRCH, they married in 1845 in Bolton that was her first marriage.
What I cannot find is her second marriage .
JANE SIMS married JOSEPH SOLOMON before 1851 well I think she did as on the 1851 census she is living in Ashton-u-Lyne with a two month old son named JOSEPH SOLOMON .

I think her first husband JAMES BIRCH died in 1848 but I have not yet bought the certificate.

I am so sorry to confuse everyone

Lancashire Death indexes for the years: 1848
Surname Forename(s) Age Sub-District Registers At Reference
BIRCH James 69 Little Bolton Bolton LB/10/456

Rather old, I would have thought, to have been marrying a minor 3 years earlier

What was his age when he married?

It looks more than likely that no second marriage took place

Maybe they didn't get legally married . You could enquire of the synagogue whether it was possible to be married according to Jewish rites but not for it to be a legal marriage

I know when I married in 1957 in the Catholic Church we had to put our banns in too at the local register office and a registrar attended the church at the time and married us legally in the vestry and we signed the register she had bought with her giving us our copy of it
