I am trying to identify the parents of JOHN HALL b 1879/1880 recorded as Middle Langley Farm Langley Park, Durham who married Hilda Ramsey b 1881 in Q3 (April) 1909 and I though if anyone had access to records, his parents would be recorded on the parish record/cert.
Not sure if anyone will have information so current, but grateful for any information about John.
Unfortunately John died in 1918 aged only 38, leaving his widow with four young children to raise.
thank you

Hi MM,
Have you tried the 1881 census :
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/X3R2-3QX
Andrew and Annie were living at Low Langley in the Parish of Langley, with their son John.
Kind regards,
Pels.

I would hope this could be the marriage registration for John's parents :
Marriage, Jun 1878
Andrew Hall
Annie Bell
Stockton, Vol 10a, page 109

Thank you so much to everypne who has taken the time and effort to help. I had seen Andrew and Annie, but because there aren't any children with the name Andrew, and working on the first born is usually named after their father I had discounted him. How wrong can you be!
this is of enormous help and I can start piecing together all the info and work from there.
Thanks again everyone - so helpful
Kind regards
MM
