Hello BBEG, yes I still have it. Will post it to you if you are in the UK if you'd like to give me your address.

If you want to double check, marriage was 10 11 18?0 (writing indistinct) she was 42 and a spinster, catholic and father was Michael Barrett. Church of the Sacred Heart, Lambeth, Surrey (now London of course)

Thank you for all this Malcolm. I must admit this endeavour has taken a back seat lately as I'd come to a halt on this line, but I will certainly look further into the info you have given me.  Many thanks indeed, most appreciated.

I have a marriage cert for John Sullivan and Bridget Elizabeth Barrett married 10 11 1880 - Church of the Sacred Heart in Lambeth, London (Surrey) bought in error.  He was 43 and she was 42 upon marriage. Both Roman Catholics. One a bricklayer the other a leather merchant.

Malcolm, you are welcome. Yes, your Isabella was the elder sister to my g.g.grandfather, William.  I had a look at my chart and it appears that they kept the name of Isabella going for some time down the years. A daughter of my great grandfather,  b. 1883 (one of 10)! was also named for her g.g.grandmother.  Quite nice really to keep the names in the family. Something we don't seem to do nowadays.  Had I been interested in genealogy when I had my children I would have followed suit - too late now. Regards. P

I have a copy certificate showing the above marriage in the Church of the Sacred Heart, Lambeth  on 10 11 1880, bought in error. Is it of use to anyone?

Malcolm
I have 3 scans from the Durham records office showing:
1) the marriage of Thomas Wilkinson of the Parish of Whitburn and Eliz Brewis of this parish (Christ Church) married by licence on 07 02 1810. Names of officials and witnesses are unintelligable.
2) scan of baptism in 1784 at Whitburn parish church showing Nov 5th, Thomas, son of William Wilkinson born 9th August (no mother mentioned).
3) scan of marriage at Whitburn parish church of William Wilkinson of this parish, bachelor, and Isabella Robinson of this parish, spinster, being both of full age, married by licence 01 05 1782. Rector Benjamin Pye, witnesses Joseph and Mary Lee.  Isabella signed with a X, William signed his name.
That's all the concrete evidence I have I'm afraid.  Frustrating isn't it.  I can try and send you copies if you'd like them.

Malcolm, apologies for typo,  it certainly was 1810.  I have hit a brick wall now with my search and cannot confirm any further back than I already have. I have purchased a disk of Whitburn parish records 1579-1812 and had a look for your Isabella who you said was b.1812 but the only one recorded as being baptised in 1812 was the daughter of a John Kirkton, shoemaker (but  she was born in 1811) so is not your girl.  I have to say I am getting totally confused, as each generation in my family seemed to have just kept recycling the same Christian names.  If I get any further info though, will post it.

Kind regards
Polly
