sorry- I keep going on but I am only trying to help- honestly
The 1871 Best family that Barbara found before are here in
1861: Class: RG9; Piece: 3730; Folio: 57; Page: 30 Civil Parish: Collierly and Pontop
Dipton
Robert Best 22 yrs lab on roads b Hamsterley
Mary 23 yrs b Houghton le Spring
Hannah 1 yr ditto
none of this is conclusive but shows how hard it is without the certificate
