I have a marriage cert that I cant read the place of residence at time of marriage of the bride can anyone help I can scan and send certificate.

Can you give a rough idea of what part of the country/town etc? Might help those who only know some places in detail! Merry

marriage was held at Monkwearmouth Durham

As there isn't exactly a massive rush of offers (LOL!) I'll send you my email addy.....but I don't know the area, so don't hold out too much hope!! Can you do a high resolution scan? Merry

Hi, I think it says 'Shore' and I think this is them on 1851.

I want it to say ''Shore''.....Though have to admit, the first two letters look more like ''St'' as in the bride's surname...... Is that them living at Monkwearmouth Shore in 1851? Andrew aged 39 and Mary aged 34? Merry

Oh hello Dea......Had to go and tell son to GO TO SLEEP inbetween typing!! I didn't see your message until after, so GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE!! Merry

Thanks I already have them on the 1851 census but not the same one you . They are staying with her brother William in South Shields (he is my gt gt gt grandad it was a long shot to try and find his roots) Andrew Mather is down as a Grocer Rothbury on 1851 and they have 3 children Mary A, Isabella and Andrew Oh dear I am more confused.

Realised afterwards that the MWM Shore people had too many children to be likely to be yours (as your Andrew was a bachelor!)...... I note that Mary signed Stibbins, not Stibbings....... Merry

thats right her brother is on 1851 census as Stibbins too

Could it be Stone ?

Stone is what I thought it said in the first place, but couldn't see why it would be that?? Maybe you have come across somewhere called Stone? Merry

There are a number of places called Stone all over the UK. so I suppose it could be still stumped though

Give me all the details you have and I will look into it again tomorrow. p.m. me if you prefer, Dea x

nudge please help me

They were married in the Parish Curch at Monkwearmouth. The groom's address is just Monkwearmouth and hers is Stone or Shore or similar. I think the chances of her living somewhere a long way away before the marriage is very unlikely, so that's why I think it's Shore which is in Monkwearmouth. In any case, it's only the address at the date of the marriage and I have yet to find many rellies who gave a valid address where they had actually laid their heads!! Merry
