Does anyone have parish registers for Northumberland or Durham which might show the marriage of Aaron Rewcastle to Elizabeth about 1818. We don't have Elizabeth's maiden name unfortunately. Thanks

This site may be useful

http://www.genuki.bpears.org.uk/Transcriptions.html

As a general rule of thumb if I have an idea where a person is likely to have been born or married in Durham or Northumberland I ask the search engine for Genuki Sunderland or Genuki Tynemouth or whatever the town/village is. Then when the site for the town or village comes up there is often a section in it to click on which send you to the George Bell collection of parish records for that town or village.

Hi Dianne,thank you for the extra information about finding family in the Durham/ Northumberland area. Thats a new avenue for me to explore

Thanks for the reply Margaret. I didn't know there were 6 children. Now I just have to work out what BVRI stands for and then I can go looking, which should be fun.
