Hi guys,

this all sounds very interesting.  Sunday here so cannot call Durham to see if I can make an appointment until Monday.

My mum also said someone in NZ had records but they weren't prepared to share.  Crazy isn't it.  I must ask mum when I get back if she knows why.

Hopefully this posting also gives to go ahead of you both to PM if you wish.

Hi everyone,

thanks so very much for info.  Will try to find some more out while in Durham. 
Thelma so much of what you had said connects.  My grandfather was adopted.  My mother spent a lot of her younger years in Thames and went to the local school.  When her mother died grand dad put all the children in Catholic Orphanages.   He remarried and had another 7 children.   Mum was at the Star of the Sea in Howick.  My mum Catherine May Parker (nee Curran) is the last of her immediate sibblings (has step brothers and sisters).  Mum is 91 and very with it.  Lives on the Gold Coast at Villa De Paul.  She will be so very very happy to see these links.

Here's hoping I find some info at Durham   Bonnie (Bonita Anne Guilford nee Parker).

Hi Bonnie Guilford (nee Parker).  Mum Catherine Curran.  (Uncle Jerry's sister if this makes sense).

I am in York on holiday and will go to Durham most probably Tuesday.  Looking for family history.  All I have is Mary Doran married Francis Coogan / Keoghan 13/9/1858.  don't know what church or where to go in durham to look up records.  Any ideas?
Mary born 1841. (where or date details?  also don't have any info on great grand dad).
Any ideas of where to go and what to look for would be brilliant. 

Bonnie
