Thanks Christine, as you'll no doubt have seen on the other thread, Mary said it was because I was putting the abbr. County in before Durham..(not going to do it again) Jean

John was born in Durham Mary was born in Weardale copied from other thread, as you seem to be having problems.

I have tried three times to correct or update my previous message, as it's not coming out as I am typing it. It should read (see if it will come out right) John was born in Co Durham Mary was born in Weardale fingers crossed Jean

Yes Sue....there seems to be alot of Mary J's in the MIlburn families Thanks Jess...I have found marriages for John G and Mary J Jean

Both got daughters called Mary J though.....spooky :-)

Thanks Sue but I don't think so. John is only 51 and Mary is 44 in 1881 John was born in Co Durham Mary was born Weardale I haven't seen any of the family in Yorkshire Jean
