Thank you for the info on Jacob Solomon. Catherine is my GT GT Grandmother. She married John Cresswell. He died aged 37 1880. He was a engineer at felling colliery. There is a good write up of his inquest in the Jarrow Guardian.
I had been stuck with Thomas until I learnt the name Salmon/Salman (Saw man) was used. The 19th century switch in spelling may be due to pronunciation but also a lot of Cornish miners came north and they used Solomon. Thomas I used to think married a Isabella Weldon in Sunderland in 1781, but then I found an Elizabeth Donnison in 11/11/1780 in Chester le Street, Durham, which as a location made more sense. However the records tend to be for a Isabella & John combination.
Jacob's wife Jane died in 1865 Colliery Row Houghton Le Spring. I was fascinated to learn of a book.
I accidentally deleted my first write so this is a replacement and I hope I have remembered the dates!

I have just started  investigating my Duxfield ancestors in Earsdon. Mine is Timothy who married Mary Myers in 1794- I found her parents and Grandfather MI and grave in lanchester in a good state. (1763, 1777 and 1779 on same headstone) I think his father was Joseph Duxfield and his George Duxfield. Anyway I am not on facebook but I wondered if anyone knew if Duxfield Graves from the 18th century still exist or have a copied out inscription?  Thanks
