Thank you very much Jomot and JenB for your replies. I will definitely follow up on the other Mary Waters that you suggested and see if they can tie in to my tree better than the one that I am currently following.

Hi Janis,
From the 1871, 1881 and 1891 (of which I am 100% certain that it is my Mary Waters), she says that she was born in Stockton around 1845.
From the 1851 census, (which I believe is the same Mary), she says she was born in Wreckington, Durham around 1845. From the 1861 census, (again, which is believe is the same Mary), she says she was born in Lamesley, Durham around 1843. It appears that Wreckington, Lamesley and Stockton are all very close to each other.
In the GRO index, I started in Sept 1837 and went year by year up until 1850 looking for all the children with Hunter as the mother's maiden name. All the siblings show up except for Elizabeth and Mary.

Thank you very much 2zpool and barryd for your help! I have found entries for all of the Waters children in the GRO birth index except for Elizabeth and my elusive Mary. There were 7 daughters and only 1 son.
 
I was able to find the baptism for Elizabeth and her in the 1841 census. Then she disappears and I couldn't find a death either. She must be the only person in Ancestry that doesn't have a single hint available! I also found it interesting that on Elizabeth's baptism, her father is listed as "printer" (1838) but he is a pitman (coal miner) on later census returns. Transcription mistake perhaps?

I had thought of Elizabeth becoming "Mary" but there seem to be about 7 years difference in the dates of birth given on the various census returns. I can follow all of the other daughters and none of them seem to be my Mary. I do have (in another branch) an "Edward" who later became "John E." and then just "John"! Hard to trace some people!

Thank you again very much!

trish1120 - Thank you very much for the census information that you copied for me. It does match what I have found so far. Also for the additional baptism and marriage info.

I did find a baptism for Dinah/Diana on 1 June 1821 at St. Thomas Church in Stockton and it confirms her parents' names to be Benjamin Hunter and Ann Wardell.

My problem is the elusive Mary Waters - I can't find her birth or baptism anywhere. Through the marriage certificate, I can be 100% certain that Mark Waters is indeed her father and see what age she has declared. It would be a shame if all my work on Mark Waters and Dinah/Diana Hunter is for nothing and not in fact her family...although I am quite certain it is.

Thank you very much once again!

Annette - As I mentioned in my previous post to tillypeg, Stephen and Mary are my paternal great-grandparents. I have also found most of the same information you had mentioned. The couple had 12 children from what I have found, with one daughter named Dinah/Diana but, interestingly, none of the boys were named Mark. I have also found birth or baptisms for all the children.

In the census forms of 1871, 1881  and 1891 Mary lists her place of birth as Stockton. I haven't been able to find her yet on the 1901 and 1911 census forms. But, there is no Mary Waters born in Stockton around 1845. I found what I believe to be the same Mary in the 1851 census (place of birth Wreckington, Durham) and in 1861 (place of birth Lamesley, Durham). I am not 100% certain though.

This is why I was hoping that I could confirm 100% that her father was Mark Waters through the marriage certificate. I guess it is a certificate worth investing in!

Thank you again very much!

tillypeg - Thank you so very much for putting the transcription for me!!! Stephen and Mary are my paternal great-grandparents. How very sad to learn that he died from suffocation following intoxication :-( I am sorry to hear of your William Dryden also! I totally agree - there is a moral there somewhere...Thank you again very much!

Best wishes to you also, Patsy

tillypeg, Yes, that is indeed my Stephen Whelpdale! I have a annual subscription with Ancestry right now but will keep this report in mind to look up whenever I can also afford a month's subscription with FindMyPast. Thank you very much!

Thank you JenB for explaining the code used by the Tees Valley Indexes.

I have the husband (Stephen Whelpdale) living in the district of Stranton in the 1861 census but his wife (Mary Waters) was a servant in Gateshead in 1861. So, I doubt this is much help.

I guess I'll have to buy the certificate. Thanks everyone once again!

Oh dear! 12 civil parishes to choose from! I'll try to see if I can narrow the search down to which civil parish it is.
Thank you so much for your helpful comments!
