Henry was born c1818 Cockerton, Darington ,and Mary was born c1820 Piercebridge, N Yorks. It wouldbe great if you could find them for me , Many thanks, Maggie

Hi Linda! Could you do two look-ups in 1861 for me? Edward Errington Heslop in Gillesgate Moor (father Joseph) and Jane Gustard at Langley Moor, Brandon (father Henry) This is where they were according to their marriage certificate in 1862. Married at Bethel Chapel (methodist) if that helps! Angela (Keith's Daughter)

Linda I would be grateful if you could do another look up for me please. I am looking for Thomas and Jane Drummond from Penshaw (Old Painshaw). I believe that he is registered on the census as a bookseller aged about 45. Many thanks Andrea

Margaret - they are not in the North Road area - but I am searching for family in Darlington myself so will keep a eye out for you. Linda

Andrea - what year? Linda

Many thanks for looking Linda, Regards, Maggie

Linda Sorry, please forgive me. I was so excited with a little bit of information I got on Saturday my brain got fuddled. I've since found them on Durham Records Online about halfa an hour ago which I had already checked before I posted my request to you but hadn't found. The ages are all to pot so that had thrown me off but I've got the right folks now because of some other infromation that I found. Many thanks Andrea
