So I guess "Low Lambton" is in Durham?

I certainly would have no idea without a map and a search engine.

Where's that thread gone that asks people to at least give a *county*??


Marriage certificates give father's name only, not mother's, and father's occupation. If the party knew them, and reported them correctly.

This is a possible for the marriage:

Marriages Dec 1873 (>99%)
Lennox Barbara Gateshead 10a 1295
Miller George Gateshead 10a 1295

There's a number of possible births, usually the case with a not so unusual name.

You could have a look on FreeBMD to see what looks likely. What else do you know about him? Have you found him on any census?

Buy his marriage or birth certificate? That should give the necessary info, the marriage certificate will give his father's occupation.
