Thanks Alvie.

That's ok Marian. Here they are in 1871 as well, next door to each other. They are both widows and are 'retired persons.'

MarriageFinder: Ann Dixon married one of the following people:

BRUCE, Robert Stuart

DIXON, William

DOUGLASS, Elizabeth Burn

Hello Alvie, the marriage is John Byers to Maria Dixon because on the 1881 census (the only one I can access, it being free) Maria is living with her sister Ann Dixon but it says Ann is a widower (this should probably say widow) so I didn't think her surname would be Dixon. I did look on FreeBMD for the marriage but I must have input it wrong because it wasn't showing up. I've just tried it again and sure enough it's there. Sorry for wasting your time but thank you.

The people named as executors.

Maureen

Would someone with FMP sub please take a look at the parish baptisms for Thomas Harrison BYERS bap 1826 at Hart, Co Durham. I don't know if he is related to any of the above, but I was told that I had to keep my surnames to one thread to avoid duplication of research. Thank you.

Just spotted your post Alvie, yes I have them thanks.

Just as an extra. You probably already have these.
