I am trying to find the parents of James Dodds - born Morpeth 1837; he married Dorothy Dodds & had a son John Singlewood Doods born 1859;
The family moved to Willington, Co Durham where John was born.
My maiden name was Singlewood but there is some family confusion as to when this name was accepted and Dodds not used!
Anyone with this in their family?

Freebmd shows he married Dorothy Singlewood in 1860
John was born 1859 as John Singlewood as per freebmd

Here's his christening from the IGI

I think Claire has the baptism
In 1841 and 1851 James is living with his grandmother Ann Dodds.
The marriage certificate should confirm if his father is Robert Dodds, a mason - the trade james also followed
-
Robert & Jane appear to have also had the following children in Morpeth. The dates shown are baptismal dates - not birthdates
Robert 20.4.1828
Susannah 4.1.1839
William 22.1.1843
