I need this info for me to find the marriage Mo

Hi Maureen Yes i know you had very kindly given me the details of John Reed and Margaret Bone's marriage although I had not recorded the witness names on my records. I was just wondering if any records at the Record Office might give their parents names so I could try and get back another generation have nothing to help me at the moment!! Susan

Oh! I'm sorry Mo - if that was supposed to point me in a certain direction I guess I have my eyes closed. :>( The only English cert. that I have ever seen is my bc and although I'm getting pretty good at finding people who are not related to me I still don't really know what all of the abbreviations mean. May I ask for an explanation? Anne But extremely happy that you could connect Joe to Janet. YYEEAA!!!

Do some more digging about and see if you can get me something concrete to go on.... Then I will have a look for you Mo 1.

Hi Maureen, I have checked both Free BMD and IGI for the marraiges. The only one i could find on IGI that sort of matched was a Thomas Snaith born1803 who married a Elizabeth 1807.They were married in 1828 in Gateshead.My Thomas and Elizabeth had there 1st child in 1821,and other children after 1828. The only marraige i could find for a George Burdess was in Sept 1868 in Durham.It was to a Margaret Catron. Once again i dont know if this is the right lady or not. Would you be able to check out these marraiges for me and post the details. All my Snaiths came from Swalwell,Derwenthaugh and Wincanton.Any that you do find are all related to each other, Many thanks Sue x

Hi Maureen, I have what I hope is the marriage of Joseph Lee and Janet Armstrong, Auckland 10a 269. 3rd qtr 1870 I have noticed that when you find the banns you can give birth places, so I'm hoping that it would be possible from this info. I need my Joseph to have been born in Dudley, Worcs c1848. Thank you for any help or advice you are willing to give. Anne

Maureen No problem Nicky I'll try my best as usual Mo

Hi Susan Hazard Have you checked the IgI for the first marriage to see if it is on there.. I will need an idea of a place to look for these marriages.. Also have you checked freebmd for the second marriage which would then give you a registration district I cannot find the marriage on the Durham website so have possibly been married in the Houghton le spring area.. Could do with some more info Have fun Mo I have just checked on the IgI And nothing comes up but it does look like someone has added this marriage to igi but without her surname.. It may be worth you checking to see if you have a connection with her tree.. Nothing on free BMD for the second marriage So it looks like you will have to trawl through the Ancestry Beta Version to find the year and quater and the registration district.. Mo

Hi Susan I have just looked back at the old thread and I gave you the marriage details Hun St Peter, Monkwearmouth. John Reed, widower of this parish and Margaret Bone, spinster of this parish were married in this church by Banns with consent of parents this Nineteenth day of December in the year One Thousand Eight Hundred and Thirteen by me Gilfrid Gates, Minister. This marriage was solmenized between us John Reed and Margaret Bone. In the presence of Joseph Bone and Wm Hobson.. Mo

Hi Maureen Many thanks for your kind offer could you please look up the following marriage: 19 December 1813 John Reed and Margaret Bone St. Peter's church Monkwearmouth. I am interested to know if it lists the names of their fathers or any witness. (You have already supplied the above date of the marriage from some records you had several months ago I just wondered if the record office might have any more details). Many thanks Susan

Hi Maureen. Could you possibly try to find a baptism for Frances Briggs born in Tanfield. Would think in the 1780's but not exactly sure. Know she married John Patterson in Painshaw in 1806 which you have found before for me. Would be greatful for any hlep again. Also if you get time, but please get others done before this as I have already asked you once for look ups, dont want to be greedy, Edward Nicholson baptism about 1800 again In Painshaw. Am stuck completely on this line. Thanks Nicky

Hi Thanks for the offer Would be grateful if you could look up a James Stuart/Stewart birth or anything. He was born around 1823 in West Rainton. I don't know who his parents where. He married a Jane Dawson. Thankyou Anything will be a bonus. Maureen

Hi Maureen, Thank you for your offer, Could you poss look for 2 marraiges.. Thomas Snaith(c1796)born either Derwenthaugh or Swalwell married somebody by the name of Elizabeth.(1795)I imagine they married about 1820 as there 1st child Hannah was born 1821.Would it be poss to see if it names any parents. Secondly..George Burdess(1836)born Hetton-le Hole married a Margaret (1844)Poss Thornley(we think thornley might be her last name)Could of married about 1863 as 1st child Isabella born 1864. Any details of poss parents would be great. Many thanks sue x

Thanks a lot - at least I know those details from IGI are correct and have found out that Judith is from Ireland which I didn't know. I'm still not sure exactly which jigsaw pieces belong to my family but every bit of info helps. Thanks again for your time and help. Kate
