Thanks ArgyllGran, just got it!! :-D

If they didn't marry, that makes sense why I am having trouble finding it.

Yes, very much the northern reaches of England !

As for Scottish marriage, it's possible. I don't have access to Scottish records at present. I just presumed it was somewhere in Northumberland....

They didn't marry in Scotland.

In fact, it appears that they didn't marry at all.

So, very much the north of Northumberland…….

Have you considered the possibility of a marriage in Scotland?

William Brigham b 1826 Fenwick, Northumberland
Margaret White b 1833 Barelees, Nr Berwick , Northumberland

I got the maiden name from childrens registration on GRO site.

In 1861 Census, they were living in Chatton, Northumberland, above couple with daughter Margaret aged 1 yar old.

1871 they were in Belford, now with 5 children.

Where were they living in 1861?

Where was each of them born…and when?

Did you get the woman’s maiden name from a child’s birth registration?
