George Atkinson and Ann Coates
Married 20th Nov 1803

Bishopwearmouth,Durham,England

Which would seem to be a good possible for his parents ?


Mary Crofton was christened on 23rd june 1816 at Bishop - Wearmouth.
Parents Anthony and Isabella Crofton.

I cant find their marriage on there but maybe if you give it a go you may turn something up.

Do use the Exact ,close and partial matches when you search or nothing seems to come up.Not for me anyway.
