If you look on the Durham BMD site; http://www.durham.gov.uk/gro/newgro.nsf/search?open&C0801220140114012005$ you'll find the marriage. You can order the cert from Durham if you use their system (the GRO ref is irrelevant to them). Fees are the same - I'd expect service at least as good. The GRO index is a quarterly transcription of the local info. If you get the marriage cert, it should tell you te fathers' names & occupations - which will give you a start? Christine |

Hi Heather The information I have got isnt much but here goes. Anthony Harrison b1852 in Tanfield Co Durham he was a coal miner. He was wife was Mary Leslie and they married in 1871 in Durham. What I want to know was who was Anthony's mother and father and did he have any brothers or sisters? I have Anthonys siblings from 1901 censors. Rumour has it in the family that he came from Cornwall but my dad is starting to wonder if this is true. Thanks Yvonne |

There are censuses for 1861, 1851 and 1841. There's also civil registration for births, marriages and deaths back until 1 July 1837. Then you have parish records. Additionally there are lots of other resources - directories, poor law records, local newspapers etc. nell |
