Could one of my kind friends please look at the Collieries area of Durham. I am looking for the family of Mary Ann Close, Daughter of William. She married Robert Heron in Sept 1881. It is believed that her mother ran a pub, possibly the Kings Head at West Cornforth. Thanks Jim, Gosport HAM

Hi Debbie, Thanks for that. Was it 1871 or 1881? It looks as if their parents must have been away from home on Census night. I have been looking for Mary Ann on and off since the mid 70s. Trouble is I was looking in the Durham area. Barnsley is quite a move. Jim
