Wow...thats really interesting Cath!!
Ive had a look on freebmd, that'll take a bit of getting used to.... :D

Well, I have managed to find Sarah and Harry Goodships marriage extract, from the Inverness records.  All info is tying in nicely with new leads.....what an adventure! lol

Thanks Craclyn, I have been using Scotlands People but instead of using my credits at home (as I am new to this and use loads!!) lol.....I go to my local family history unit and pay 15 for the whole day....just thought I'd try find some new info on here for a while also. With a lot of my history being in England, it isn't quite so easy for me to access records. The help on here is amazing!
Thanks again Ruth.  With the Inverness link it would seem that this really must be her, I agree.  I just need to try and work out the dates a bit better for her birth etc.  I and a date down as 1874 which would have made her a mum to Bessie at age 14!! ....I suppose a lot of it is quess work..;-)

OK  that has answered the age thing then...... :-\
The only bit of corroboration that I have in my initial notes is that Richard and Sarah had two sons....Richard and William, with Richard being born in 1884.  His brother William apparently left as a young adult and went to Texas?

Oh my goodness...thank you for all your replies!  My apologies for the spelling of Chester Le Street!  I am pretty certain the the marriage of Richard and Sarah in the last quarter of 1881 are them. I am delighted to find this bit of info, and thanks Ruth for pointing me in the right direction in the first place....! It all sounds about right to me.  Not sure on any coal miners Cathy.....? That would be an interesting spin on things!! It would also make Richards birth year out by about 10 years...?  It would also make Sarah too young at the time of marriage in 1881...? 
Last little hopeful question would be.......any chance anyone could possible get me a rough idea of Sarahs age at marriage?
Also, any record of (son) Richard Burnside/Elizabeth Mullen marriage date..?

Hello folks, struggling to find any information on my great great grandfather Richard Burnside, born Durham? in approx 1864.  He married his wife Sarah Campbell and thats all I have.... :(   He was apparently an Autioneer at the time of his sons marriage. I can't find Sarah's date of birth or their marriage.  They also had a son called Richard Burnside born 1884 in Chesterly Street Durham who died in Inverness in 1968.  His wife was Elizabeth Mullen born 1883. Elizabeths father Hugh Mullen was a Travelling Showman at the time of their marriage.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks  ;)

Thanks for that reply Neil....the information I have at hand is that my Great Grandfather was called Richard Burnside born in 1884 at Chesterly Street, County Durham and he possible had a brother named William. Not sure on Williams date of birth but he apparently went to Texas for a few years before returning to uk.
Richard Burnside married Elizabeth Mullen in 1904 in Scotland, he was a hawker.  Richard and Williams parents are my Great great Grandfather Richard Burnside born 1864 in Durham. He was an auctioneer. and his wife Sara Campbell Burnside (don't have Saras year or place of birth.)
I would be delighted if this information was used in shedding some light on the rest of this bit of the family!
Elizabeth Mullen (1883) father was Hugh Mullen and he was a travelling Showman, married to an Elizabeth Newlands (don't know her year of birth yet)....... and her mum was an Agnew Newlands born 1811  ;D
