I am trying to find the mother of Thomas Spencer born approx 1866 in Richmond Durham. I have found his marriage certificate and his father is John Spencer. A Minor in Durham. How would I find his mother what records would tell me? Any help Welcome. Thanks Lrain

p.s He Married Matilda Carlton in Sunderland Durham on 24th April 1885. Yes I thought Richmond was Yorkshire but everything points to Durham and Im so confused. thanks
