Hi Maureen, Thank you for your offer, Could you poss look for 2 marraiges.. Thomas Snaith(c1796)born either Derwenthaugh or Swalwell married somebody by the name of Elizabeth.(1795)I imagine they married about 1820 as there 1st child Hannah was born 1821.Would it be poss to see if it names any parents. Secondly..George Burdess(1836)born Hetton-le Hole married a Margaret (1844)Poss Thornley(we think thornley might be her last name)Could of married about 1863 as 1st child Isabella born 1864. Any details of poss parents would be great. Many thanks sue x
