Val,

I think you might be better off ordering another of the children's birth certs to double check. That marriage cert. could be a waste of money.

This is the only likely marriage I can see for a Robert Cow*n* to a Jane:

Marriages Mar 1857
COWINGS Robert Newcastle Tyne 10b 45
Hedley Jane Newcastle Tyne 10b 45

Could be Jane had been married before though.
