Hi Trish and Jennifer
Yes this is exactly what I have done I have ordered the marriage certificate - should get it early June and then I will go from there.
Yes I had noticed the Durham birth certificate but thought as you suggest best to wait until I get the marriage certificate. Still can't get my head around the fact that someone born in Gateshead would say they were born in Newcastle - two completely different places of course there is only a river separating them. Maybe in the 1800's things were not quite so clear cut.
I had noticed the person on ancestry and have sent them a message but they haven't responded - I am not sure they even know that Mary Isabella's maiden name is Noble as they have her listed in her married name Crozier so maybe they can't help anyway.
Again thank you both for you help it is really appreciated.
Ros
