Anthony Smith 1849, Christiana Brown Smith (wife of Anthony) 1850, both in County Durham, Elizabeth Dobson should be a widow, b. 1825, again in County Durham

Much appreciated

Dates of birth?
Thanks

for Anthony Smith and Christiana Brown Smith, should be in County Durham - any help would be much appreciated. Also 1891 for Elizabeth Dobson - also in County Durham, possibly an inn-keeper.

Many thanks

Chris
