I just had a thought - I believe that Family Relatives has a marriage search facility where you can do a search like Mary Ann Collins marrying a Cunningham between 1891 and 1901? I haven't actually tried this kind of search on there, though, but I think it is supposed to be possible. Kate.

Hi kate, Sorry this is a mess but I did think Mary Ann married before 1901 census but can't find the correct marriage, info today on phone confirms she did marry a Mr Cunningham not Wharton. Betty

The only marriage in Durham in 1900 of a Mary Ann Collins is this one:- Mary Ann Colins June qtr. 1900, Durham, 10a, 692 However there is no Cunningham marriage in the same qtr in Durham. Kath. x

I don't really understand what you are saying. Just because a Mary Ann Collins married a William Wharton in 1900 doesn't mean that a different Mary Ann Collins didn't marry a Mr. Cunningham some time between 1891 and 1901, does it? So why does this mean that the marriage information you have is wrong? Kate.

Hi again georgina, Sorry this is a long story, will try and keep it short. mary Ann had a brother Thomas Collins, his wife died afer having 6th child and mary Ann took in one of the children to look after as Thomas couldn't manage. The child Mary Ann took in is still alive and said her husbands name was Cunningham, just confirmed that today but he can't remember christian name. Betty Hope you can follow this?

Have you found Mary on 1901 as Mrs Cunningham? Or are you relying just on what someone told you? Reg

Hi Georgina, Yes thats correct, I have her with her family in 1891 census but left before 1901 census. I am sure she married then in Durham. Betty

Betty just to be clear, you are looking for the marriage of a Mary Ann Collins to a Mr Cunningham in Durham. Is that right? Georgina.
