Find Ancestors

1822 is too early for birth records. You can only hope for a baptism, which you may find by looking at the familysearch site

hi all
i wonder if any one could help me find mary ann burns born about 1822(durham) who married alexander scott also born about 1822 (scotland). they married on the 8th april 1851 at the parish church of sunderland. according to the marriage cert she is 28 and he is 20 but their ages could be incorrect(with reference to census records). alexander is a marriner but no proffession recorded for mary. there residence is showing church street(both of them) and marys father is called james burns, and profession is a papermaker.

i have found mary on the census records up to 1861(after she married) and confirmation of that is that her mother is on the census records as widowed mary burns.
i carnt seem to find her birth or the rest of the burn family going futher back.
i did stumble on a site( cached page) which stated mary ann burns had a sister called elizabeth robinson burns (the robinson was supposed to have come from the mothersmaiden name but couldnt be proved, according to that page but i carnt find it anymore.
bit long winded i know but if anyone could help me i would apprechiate it
kind
regards
sean
