I can't find a William Blackbird at all on the census in Northumberland.

The only census I can get is the 1881 by which time he is with Mary Ann Shield.

Thank you for that, as I said complicated..

Is she on a census with William and if so which census?

If she got married a third time it should be in the name Hunter (but she could call herself anything).

Sorry, no idea. I know she married William after her marriage to George Todd as her children were then listed as his.

Complicated xx

Not seeing a death on freebmd for Dorothy as BLACKBIRD.
Do you know when she died?

Hi Gillian, presuming that she had been "properly" married then subsequent remarriages would be in her married name of the time.

However, if she'd never bothered the vicar and had just taken her chap's name then she could marry in that name or the one before.

Looking for a marraige between Dorothy Jane Brown born 1852 Northumberland to a William Blackbird from Durham born 1840. Both of these had been married 3 times. Her first was 1876 and second 1883, his were 1861 and 1873, now where there marraige fits in I am not sure but I believe it is after 1873. There is a hint that he had a child out of wedlock so maybe this was to Dorothy and they never married?, have looked and can find nothing. Her two previous marriages were to George Todd and Robert Hunter, would she get married again in her married name or her maiden name?
