Hi PatinCyprus , Have I done it right ?
Thank you for your help.
Julie x :-)

Hi PatinGyprus, The bit I can't read are the names at the bottom and the place where they lived.
thanks again
Julie :-)

It looks to me like the place where they lived is Cloth Market

John Hill - his mark

Ellen Ramshaw

Witnesses Thomas Hill and Thomas Peaston or Reaston or possibly Peastou or Reastou

You beat me to it Kucinta.
Thomas Hill and Thomas Peaston

correction it is
Cloth Market
I looked it up on google map
It's not a stones throw for St Nicholas church where they married
and not far from the Tyne Bridge.

Thank you do you know what - his Mark means ?
Juliex :-)

Means he couldn't write Julie

I was thinking that McAlp I thought they put a cross if they couldn't read . so does Cloth Market still exist ? Where would i find old street maps?
Julie. :-)

It is Cloth Market and it's still there in Newcastle. Agree with the rest. on names.

Many certs up to the 1900s had people just leaving their mark as they couldn't read and write. Education was only for those with money. It was 1880 that compulsory education came in. Before 1880 it was Sunday Schools and Ragged Schools that educated the poor but most children were at work before teenage years.

How interesting PatinCyprus wish I could do this all day I have so much to learn, Think I need another trip up North, will go and see if I can find his house to get inside and have a look would be great.If I go up North can I get copy of Parish records the same day ? or do I have to wait?
Julie. :-)

As you come out of Cloth Market
St Nicolas Church is just across the road.
So it was a short walk for them on their wedding day.

Wow !!! What a beautiful church thank you for the link. How do I find out what no they lived at in Cloth street?
