You need to establish the name and occupation of his father............the info will be on the marriage cert. Then, if anything is found in Parish records, you will have a better chance of knowing whether it's the right person.

The snag is that Felling is in County Durham, and Newcastle is in Northumberland...two separate Records Offices.
