Same source - "Petty constable.  A constable (i.e. not a High Constable).  High Constable - similar to a Chief Constable in modern times, though constable duties differed then.  (See also seneschal).

Seneschal(us)  A steward with jurisdiction over several manors.  He was often also sheriff and/or High Constable.

Heywood found the snippet from Newcastle Courant of 17 January 1851.  The marriage is said to be on 15 January in Sunderland.

Other newspapers have the same entry - none have additional information, that I can see.

If you search on Ancestry for Thomas Lane in 1881 census you will find him on image number 28 of 39.  You can then click on "28" and change that to "1" which will take you to page 1 of 39.  Page 1 is the image of the Enumerator's walk - i.e. the area covered by the 39 pages.
