Marriage of Christopher Morton and Mary Dawson sept 1888 Stockton 10a 109

Hi Joan

Sorry about that. I deleted the thread, because I realised that I had the same information on an earlier thread. I didn't want to tie up the boards with the same information....lol

Hi Sue

I think you may have found them. It does tie in with all of the information that I have on the family. And the dates and ages tie as well.
Thank you very much.

Debbie, You other thread disappeared.
I have found Christopher and wife Mary in 1901.

Claire in Wales, I think you have found who i am looking for, you were right. Christophers was married previously. I recieved the marriage certificate this morning, and the info and ages tie in nicely to the guy you found on the censuses.

Here is the info I have from the marriage certificate:
1902: St Lukes church, parish of Pallion: Durham
Christopher morton age 34, widower, bricklayer: 17 Rutland street: (Father) James Morton (deceased) Occupation: Brickmaker

Catherine Busfield 21 Spinster: 35 Potts Street: (Father) William Busfield (deceased) Occupation: Watchmaker

Thank you! Very much appreciated.

Thank you for all of your replies, I think to get an inch of certanty I will have to send off for the certificate. I will let you know how I get on, but there is nothing more frustrating than waiting to move on.

Love to you all this Halloween

If you have the GRO ref the cert should be £7 not £10?

Hi vicki

This is going to be one of them families that move to where the work is as they got married in sunderland but had my grandmother in Kirkthorpe (yorkshire).

Evening guys. I have my Grandmothers birth certificate in front of me finally after waiting many weeks....lol

Ethel May Morton

He was a Bricklayer

Within 10 minutes of having the cert, I had found the parents marriage oct/nov/dec 1902 in Sunderland

I am going to send off for the marriage cert as soon as I have a spare tenner in the bank.

Can anyone do a quick search and see if they can be located on the census's, any help would be really appreciated
