In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth

Doesn't help (if I'm looking at the right family in 1861 at RG9/3709 60 1) that the parents were both from Ireland  :P

Hi Lisa
 Could Dance round this cert too the cows come home.???
Most poster replies stick to the answer the Topic only Rule. Sorry!I don't!! only answer Logic!

Therefore try and find a brother or sister's birth certificate 1858+/- Co Durham and that may show the mothers Info. Also find the parents marriage.

Get in touch with Durham library and ask about parish registers of this event and Electoral registors. Trade Directories for the father and their advice. Check Hugh Wallis for a run down of Bapt of siblings of the parents. Archives will have poor law info Overseers accounts parish of births in Durham.

Thankyou to all posters here for continuing to give me very useful hints about where to go next with this lass.

The 1861 Census & Free BMD does indeed show that there was a younger sister, and suggests that Jane herself died in 1864. The children seem to be living with an Uncle's family by 1871.  Brief & Busy lives, eh?

Not yet coming up with any details on her marriages, but as Tati said, they could have married in Ireland.

Particular thanks to dobfarm for the hints.  I have now tried all combinations of V, B and L - with Mc, Mac, etc, etc. 

I'm very grateful for the use of your eyes & brains. Shall we call this topic closed now, as it's becoming more about Jane than about the handwriting!??

All the best, Lisa
