The problem my friend has is Anthony Walton married to Elizabeth Walton in 1869 Weardale. Father of Anthony is Peter.Father of Elizabeth is William.

She says she has the marriage cert somewhere but hasnt looked at family history for a few months due to family illness and very recent death a few days ago.
She has the children of Elizabeth Walton on the 1881 census as her family. Anthony Walton 1836 Elizabeths husband has the other children in Stanhope . Anthony is a draper.

She hadnt seen the 1881 census but Im assuming she has all the family together at some point to name all the children

I have to go now but will check later.
Thank you once again

Jonathan Stephenson and Mary Armstrong makes sense.

Son John A Stephenson married as John Armstrong Stephenson

1841??

Name: Mary Armstrong
Age: 15

On image is living with

William Armstrong abt 1771 Stanhope, Durham

Ann Armstrong abt 1776 Durham, England Stanhope, Durham

Mathew Armstrong abt 1821 Durham, England Stanhope, Durham

OK - Looks like the Eliz Walton marriage was in 1862 and this looks like the couple in 1871 In 1881 she is listed as the daugher of Mary and the Walton children are listed as grandchildren of Mary - Maybe this was just an error.
