Hi Everyone, these look good! My friend gave me the dates just working out from memory. The only thing I know exactly is that they married in 1906. I am going to follow all of these up now. Thanks so much everyone!

Hi Monica and Iluleah, I'm afraid its not them. As far as I know James Durkan lived in South Shields area after leaving Ireland . Margaret was from county Durham. I followed your link Iluleah and found some Lennons in Mayo which may be the right family and I will cross check them with a marriage cert when I order it. I am doing this for a friend and am amazed at how difficult they are to track down. Of course the north east was full of Irish families in the 19th century -I should know as that's when my lot arrived!!
Many thanks to you both

James Durkan married Margaret Lennon in 1906. The Free BMD says Gateshead and I wondered if, being Catholics, they were married at St Patricks in Felling. I am trying to find out who his parents were. Can anyone help before I need to send for a copy of the marriage certificate?
Many thanks

Can anyone remember a statue outside this public house, behind the railings? I always thought it was a statue of St Bede, destined for the church next door. Can anyone help? Thanks!
