I got it from Family seach .org One said she was born in Birmingham and another said Stockton Durham .In the one in Birmingham it said she was born in 1836.She married a Richard Nock.

So, she was born in either Stockton or Durham, in either 1836 or 1844........

One of the other names on the page is Richard Nock, so I guess she's the person you are looking for.

But she probably wasn't born in 1844........and probably not in Stockton.

The marriage cert will tell you her age, and her father's name.........to save guessing.

Hate to be a pest Reggie but could you see who John Frederick married for me.I am trying to connect Caroline to my Great grandmothers family in Durham.My Great Aunt married a Walter Nock who was the son of their son Frederick nock.Frederick came to Australia in 1879 and Walter was born here.He went back during the first world war and married her then.

You should be able to find the marriage on freebmd...then cross-refer with 1881 census to verify.
