There is a page of marriages in Auckland district, which is the district for Crook & Billy Row No proof that this is 'your' Michael, without buying the cert............ Michael Fenwick 1876 Jul-Aug-Sep Auckland Durham Margaret Potts 1876 Jul-Aug-Sep Auckland Durham Martha Smith 1876 Jul-Aug-Sep Auckland Durham Henry Young 1876 Jul-Aug-Sep Auckland Durham 1881 census shows a Henry Young married to a Martha living in Eldon. Therefore Michael Fenwick married Margaret Potts I only wish I could see either of them in 1881!!!!! Could they have emigrated? Reg
