I don 't know what happened, but I tried five times in all to type that.....even in the heading to this thread it didn't come out correct... Very strange Just thought......maybe Mary wasn't born Weardale

thanks everyone.......that's put me off looking for Mary or John for a while......I'll leave them to it! Maybe they don't want to be found in 1871 Jean

It won't type correctly because you were trying to use the two-letter abbreviation for 'County', right? GR thinks you're trying to type a link. You'll have to put it in brackets: e.g. John was born in (Co.) Durham.
