Thank you all for your time. You have given my another direction to look. Other than the 1901 decoder is there another way of looking at the census? Thanks Lorraine

I found two Mary Spencers born Durham - one in Hylton one in Houghton, both aged three. You would have to pay to open the image - are either of these places close to Usworth? Hazel

My great grandmother's name was Mary Ann Spencer on her marriage certificate to my great grandfather (Joseph Aaron Loftus) her age was 25 she married 7/11/1922 Chester Le Street County of Durham. Her year of birth would be around 1897 which on the 1901 census would have made her 4. The problem I have is that because of her popular name I don't seem to be able to get any further with my trace. On her marriage certificate her father is Thomas Spencer Coal Hewer. Living in Usworth. . Could any kind person sent me in the right direction of how to find the right Spencers Thanks for your time Lorraine
