Sharon,

Can't find her on 1841 census. Where did Thomas Fletcher and Hannah marry ? Quite often the marriage took place in the parish the bride was from -that may help

This, presumably, is the marriage to which you refer.........


Marriages Dec 1853 (>99%)

Atchison Hannah Gateshead 10a 646
Fletcher Thomas Gateshead 10a 646
Kirkwood Hugh Gateshead 10a 646
Taylor Ann Gateshead 10a 646

What leads you to think that Hannah Atkinson in 1851 is the same person as the one above?

Sharon,

I have the same query as Eric here. I couldn't find a marriage for a Hannah Atkinson 1853, are you sure the Hannah Atchison on the record Eric has posted is definitely your Hannah Atkinson?
