Find Ancestors

Hi Sheila
Just 'Google' for 'durhamrecordsonline' (all one word)
Register with them which is really easy it's just your email address and a password
After this the press Search Button
Once you find it then scroll down on the first page (a big scroll)
Put in the search form..............
Edward Collins
From a drop down list of SEARCH IN..........choose marriages
Press Search
You'll see that Edward Sharpe Collins appears.........so you know that's your man (and it's not just me making it all up)

On the left hand side of the screen you'll see Buy Credits..........click on that and follow the instructions
You can buy credits through World Pay or Pay Pal so you know that the site is safe (well, I've never had any problems in the last five years)
Once you've paid for your credits go back and repeat on the search form the details of what you want ie: Edward Sharp......marriage.........choose the 1881 marriage
On the right hand side it says something on a little tab against his name VIEW RECORD.......Click on that and you should get the details of the marriage...........all of the purchased records are automatically sent to your email address AND they are stored at durhamrecordsonline so if your computer ever crashes you can still go back and retrieve the record using another computer
Good luck
