Hi Hazelnut, the marriage between John Norton and Jane plant took place on 12th. April 1795 in Birmingham.
You need to get the original copy from the parish registry entry . it might say which parish of and witness . They married at St. Martins Birmingham .
How do you know that Henry is her father?

Hi Hazelnut - Family Bible states that Jane Plant's father was Henry.
Henry died 1823 in Birmingham, a few days after his daughter Jane Norton 1775-1823 [ nee Plant].
We think that the Pearl Button Factory in Birmingham [ Info Source:- The Memoires of John Norton, son of Jane Norton nee Plant ] was belonging to the Plant's, and not the Norton's as we first thought.
It was most likely to be a 'cottage-industry' type of manufacturing, rather than a factory.

Thanks, this indeed could be Jane Plant's father and Grandparents. Henry Plant birth 7 Oct 1752 Saint Phillips Birmingham Warwick. Parents Robert Plant and Jane nee Steedman married 1721 at Keele. Henry's father must have been about 50 years old when Henry was born ??
