Hello all,
Could anyone please help me with identifying the parents of Margaret Ellen Johnson, born about 1846 at Sunderland, please?
She was my 3x-great-grandmother and married Alexander Watson in 1864. I appreciate their marriage certificate would hopefully identify her father, but thought I'd post a request in the meantime (and trying to save money due to the time of year ;) )
I have a feeling they were married in the registry office so no church records are jumping out and I also don't seem to have found a baptism record for her either. Unfortunately all her census records simply state 'Sunderland' so I haven't been able to narrow it down to that township or either Bishopwearmouth or Monkwearmouth.
Any help much appreciated.
Regards
Craig

If she married in 1864, then she was a minor?
If you are correct about her birth, then she was only 18 when married.

Yes, I imagine she was between 17 and 19.
