How can I ask for `Ireland` help as I do not have a specific county?
1861 census: James (b.c.1830) and Ann (b.c.1832) Grayley (Grealy) were living in Wallsend, Northumberland.
Son Hugh b.c.1856 was given as born in Newcastle upon Tyne. A search in FreeBMD. Find Past and Newcastle registrar offices was negative.
I think he might have been born in Ireland too.
My direct line connection James was born Newcastle 4.5.1857.
Can anyone suggest a way I can trace this marriage please? It would have been between 1848 (Ann aged 16) and c.1857 when Hugh was born.
Any help/advice would be appreciated.

do you have any idea what religion James and Ann were ?
Full civil registration started in 1864, with non-Catholic marriages registered between 1845 and 1863. There are a few Ann Taylor marriage references around the right timeframe, but none that I can see for a James Grayley or Grealy
Link to The Irish Civil index (http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#c=1408347;p=2;t=searchable) on Familysearch.
church records will be needed to find earlier records would which would require knowing which parish they were married in.

Great news!. I have just obtained the marriage cert for James and Charlotte Rothwell. I have James's birth cert too - I expect you have both?
The children I have are 1901 - Annie, Richard (direct line) Charlotte and in 1911Charles Alice and John.
I would be interested in the descendant line if you would like to share it. I bought an old map of Wallsend yesterday to see where the family lived c.1900's.
I cannot get any information about the Irish line.
At present I am tracing the Rothwell line and I am back to John b.c.1834 in Lancs and his wife Ann J born in Cumberland.
If you have not got this infromation let me know and I will forward it.
Thanks for the contact .
