My gr grandmother was Mary Jane Snaith born in 1860 in either Beechburn or Witton le Wear Durham.She married Thomas Sudron in Ryhope in 1880 and died in West Hartlepool in 1942.
I have had problems locating her family as everybody else seems to have her father down on paper as John Snaith from Barnard Castle but her marriage certificate states her father's name was Thomas.
I don't know if this helps you in anyway.
My e-mail address is [email protected] if you require more info.
Regards,
Ray.

Thomas married Mary Wass at Coniscliffe in 1706. Ralph moved to Blackwell, Darlington and had at least two sons - Thomas & William. Richard married Margaret Atkinson at Gainford in 1705. Richard and Margaret had three children - William (bap 1710 St Edwin, Coniscliffe, Durham); Dorothy (bap 1706 Gainford, Durham); Elizabeth (bn abt 1717).
