Surname Forename(s) Year District
DRUMMOND William 1842 Durham Central
DAVISON Mary 1842 Durham Central
Register No. - Entry No. - District
DCCE27/1 - 237 - Durham Central (1842)

The ref is gotten from the postal application form.
My guess DCCE27=St.Laurence Pittington (formerly St. Lawrence)


William DRUMMOND

Holy Trinity C G

More generally, there are several online indexes from local registery offices:
http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/local_bmd
It's always worth checking both the GRO & the local as they don't extract the same info for their indexes. The local indexes might use the local page # or the original entry # in their ref. They usually use the entry # for marrs, so one knows who wed whom. (Even when they use page #, the pages don't always align, so there can be difft couples appearing on the GRO page and the local page.) The local registers always contain 500 entries at 5 per page for Bs & Ds, and 2 per page for Ms. A local marr ref will identify the register - effectively the church (or registrar) plus a sequence #, although this might be coded in some way they don't tell you. A B/D ref will identify the register, in this case a subdistrict plus a sequence #. They may not tell you their coding, but you can often guess e.g.,

Register No. - Entry No. - District
SN+1 - 335 - Durham Western (1838)
so the obvious guess is Durham (St Nicholas).

Yes it has been transcribed as John Brown Head but the house schedule is a different number.

Someone has taken and put it on their tree. see how easy it is to make a mistake.

Got your pm I never looked on f/s because i never knew of the 1st marriage but i have just looked unfortunately theres no Susannahs birth to rule out the John Brown father bit in the tree i was looking at. I hope that is a misread mistake from the 51 census as you say there is a line seperating the 2 families

Mel Fairy Godmother Report 7 Aug 2012 20:41

Not at all . I found the marriage in Australia on Familyserch .org which is free to use. They have changed it lately and I get a bit muddled with it. You used to be able to put in a name for the husband and wife's names and then find a child born to them and then find all the other children they had but you can't do that at the moment. They did say they would bring that search back later on. It is the Later Day Saints Site.

I have pm'd you.

drummo Report 7 Aug 2012 20:32

yes i believe that is probable
I have just been looking on a tree on mundia and it states susannah drummonds father is the john brown, probably from the1851 census do you think that is a mixup from an unclear census as i can not check the transcript unless i visit library, do you have access to pre 1837 marriages
hope you dont think i am being too pushy

So the Mary Ann Drummond who died in 1842 could be the death of Willilam and Mary's daughter.

Sorry for delay been to daughters for tea
Well you have been busy and very helpful M/F/G
Sring garden lane is also where Williams mother is living with her grandson Joseph who is the son of my ancester James ,Williams brother. So that looks very promising. The births of james in 1836 looks correct as he died 1841 and a Mary Ann also died young in 1842 With the mother being Mary Ann Taylor i now believe that is the marriage i am looking for, obviously 1836 or earlier and not the Mary Davison marriage
It also appears that Susannah's so Thomas Henry Potts moved to Australia
Thankyou so much you have been very very helpful

re-post
Is there a street address on the 41& 51 census to make a link
As i did not know of Williams 1st marriage i have not yet traced for children
I do know he had 1 child with 2nd wife Emma in 1870s
Elizabeth could be williams younger sister who was born 1831 as the 41 census does not state relationships
This would also mean the 1842 marriage may be wrong and William married earlier?
