Hello - thanks to all for contributions  :)

The Marriage was indeed 1892 - have become obsessed with 1891!!

The 1871 census spot (thanks for checking Birket St, JenB) was really helpful as Margaret is my GG Grandmother and was not sure if she was born to Thomas Trewick (Margaret's first husband) or Peter Brunton.  The census points to 1864/5 and now I have the baptism record off Fam search of Sep 1864 with Peter as father.  Thomas Trewick death was 1862 so I think Peter Brunton is my GG Grandfather - and Margaret was the first of his 19 children by 2 wives!

Have been in touch with Register Office but no birth record for 1863-66 - thought might not have been registered if Margaret & Peter not married.

Can anyone find birth (Margaret) or marriage (Peter BRUNTON & Margaret TREWICK/HESLOP 1862 onwards)?

Is there any way from baptism transcription records to identify the church involved? -  the records on FamSearch have WALKER as baptism location but no church mentioned.

Is it a case of a trip to the Records Office and checking each church in Walker? - no idea how many there are

A lot of the church records on the Fam Search site seem to be non-conformist ones, well I have found many of my family in them in Northimberland.

Genuki has a list of all the churches in Longbenton (of which the Walker ones seemed to belong): http://www.genuki.bpears.org.uk/NBL/Longbenton/ChurchRecords.html

What about Margaret Branton, 2nd q. 1864, Tynemouth 10b, 126

The IGI gives the baptism at Walker Parish Church (which I think is Christ Church, Walker).
