This one's details match Mary's If you look through the beta records on Ancestry, you should be able to find the marriage...........look for the groom first, then cross-refer for the bride. Florince Doughty abt 1898 Galesheall, Durham, England Daughter Benfieldside Durham View Record John Doughty abt 1869 Darlington, Durham, England Head Benfieldside Durham View Record Mary Ann Doughty abt 1873 Blackhill, Durham, England Wife Benfieldside Durham View Record John Glancey abt 1875 Blackhill, Durham, England Boarder Benfieldside Durham View Record Sarah McNally abt 1852 Ireland Boarder Benfieldside Durham Good luck Reg

You have to employ a process of elimination..........use the data you are sure of to search in the census following a possible marriage, then look for the records to back up - or disprove - what you find. Reg

Thanks Reg and everyone else for your help, it just get more difficult as you go on doesn't it. Why don't they all just stay at home with mum and dad and not bother getting married, would make thing a lot easier for us. Big Thanks Reg. Betty

Betty: It's going to cause all sorts of confusion if you completely rewrite your original message after people have started replying to it!
