Hi @BMog Sorry, I don't know what happened above. It just wouldn't let me write or delete anything! Mary's marriage was registered in Durham registration district which includes the city of Durham. This doesn't necessarily mean that she lived - or was married - in the parish of Durham. The Durham registration district had, in 1904 when she married, at least 37 different parishes. Couples usually married in the bride's parish so what you need is a copy of the marriage certificate which you can obtain from the GRO. Many certificates are now digitalized and can be bought as a pdf file - much cheaper than the paper copies. The certificate will give you the address of both Mary and Henry as well the parish in which they married. That will give yo more information to work while trying to find his employer - or place of business if he was self employed. If the latter is correct then you can try the directories and gazettes. Hope this helps. Good luck with your research.

"So does Bedlington get a share? if so how much?" £110M is to be set up as a economic regeneration fund. Still asking questions about it.............like will Bedlingtonshire get the Lion's share seeing as its our asset being developed? Been told projects are being worked on which will use this funding but when I asked specifics they were less forthcoming. As far as I'm concerned and I've said this to them......... @worst possible usage in terms of job creations........£10B for around 200 jobs............but if the payback is this £110M then lets see if we can get the 5000 jobs BritishVolt promised out of that! Now I see the Government saying this £150B of new tec and data centre funding just announced will produce 7000 jobs??????? I only believe half of what I see these days and nothing of what I hear!

Hi I would like to thank Muriel Gordon and Billy Straughan for making the effort of attending the Red Lion on Sunday 14th September the weather was really bad raining cats and dogs, we were joined by Bill Marley a great orator and Terry Dobson old friends of mine along with my best friend from Ipswich Diane. Also Russell Hogg and his mates were an example of Bedlington hospitality as they remembered me by my nick name which I am not going to divulge as I have grown out of that now been a senior citizen. Alan Edgar can you assist me I am trying to contact Muriel Gordon on Facebook but there is a lot of Muriel Gordons in the world if you gave Muriel my Facebook contact for friend it's Malcolm Allan thanks Alan.
