Marriage Look Up - Jane Dawson/Allison & John Young

[marie.of.crook]

Hi

I am trying to trace the above marriage but have been unable to get anywhere on my own.

The family lived at Billy Row, Crook, Co Durham (Auckland district or Durham West).  Jane's maiden name was jane Allison and then she married John Dawson.  They are listed in the 1891 census  with their children at Billy Row.  John died two months after the census was taken.

In the 1901 census she is listed as living in the same property but is now Jane Young living with her husband, John Young, and the children of her former marriage.  So she must have been married to John Young between 1891 and 1901 but I cannot find any records.

Hopefully a fresh pair of eyes will be able to help.

Many thanks for ANY assistance of advice that can be provided.

Kind regards

Marie

Hi Marie,

If you're going to do the search for your Thomas Henry Dawson in the 1911 census (your other post!) you could use some of your credits to look for John and Jane too, as, if they're there, the 1911 census image will show how long they've been married, which would help to narrow it down a bit

Thank you

Marie,

You do realise that they did what they do now, and that is live together without getting married. So that could be the case and you will never find a marriage for them.

I have some like that.

Roger could be right 

I've looked through the marriage index and can't find a Young/Dawson marriage

Marie, If you look up the 1911, could you come back and post the approximate marriage year if shown?

No problem. 

Thanks for very much - I thought it was just me doing something stupid when I couldn't find it.

*gasp*  the shock, the horror, the shame!   

Only kidding - I was beginning to suspect as much myself - but I'll check the census anyway just to be sure. 

Many thanks
