There also seems to be a William Onions who married a Harriet Langton in Birmingham in 1854. And FS have a George S Onions b 1862 Springfield Mass d 1864, parents William Onions and Harriet Langton.
And as I can also find this lot in 1860 - sorry - I've mixed up all my Onions!
Apologies if I have added to the confusion....

Pam, this is the post which I had prepared just before your #26:
William ONIONS d. 22nd August 1876 aged 56 in St Louis, Missouri.
The hand-written register is available to view on Ancestry but is somewhat illegible. It does look like this man was born in England and buried in Bellefontaine cemetery.
The Bellefontaine cemetery has a William ONIONS buried 23rd August 1876.

A separate death record transcription gives his address as 'Ferry Nr Broadway'. This could be Ferry Street which intersects with North Broadway, St Louis.

From what I can gather from Sandyhall's posts your Onions are no more mixed up than those on compiled family trees on Ancestry.
We often think that 'unusual' names will be easy to trace but it's surprising (unless the name is really rare) how many times the same first names (in this case William and Harriet) marry and complicate searches.
I think it's quite good that you've found this other William and Harriet and from a fairly-nearby location from the first ones. It at least makes other sleuths aware.

The 1860 census from Buffalo City NY shows William and Harriett Onions. George is 5 years old and we have death certificate for him from Iowa 1925. His birth date was June 30 1855. This kind of varifies we have the right people on Census.
These Onion's are my wife's 2 great Grandparents.
