Given that info then. Living next door to the Dickinsons in 1841 census in Coxlodge is Joseph Armstrong, 40, Shoemaker & Grocer, wife Mary 40, and family. In 1851 Mary Armstrong is now a widow, still living next door to the Dickinsons.

The will of Joseph Armstrong is on the Durham Wills Site. Joseph Armstrong, Shoemaker of Coxlodge, died 2 June 1845. Mentions his properties in Corbridge, leaves everything to his widow Mary. One of the witnesses to the will is .... Joseph Dickinson.

Suggests that Joseph Armstrong is Elizabeths brother.

Burial at Gosforth, 5 June 1845, Joseph Armstrong, of Fawdon, age 49.

Baptisms at Corbridge.

Baptized 3 Jul 1796, Joseph, son of John and Elizabeth Armstrong of Corbridge.
Born 13 Jul 1799, baptized 1 Sep 1799, Elizabeth, 3rd dau of John Armstrong, Shoemaker, Native of Corbridge, by his wife Elizabeth Walton, Native of St John Lee.

Needs more work but seems to fit. Still can't find the marriage though.

Dear Wolfie

Thank you again.  Seems pretty conclusive.  Wonder where ( If ? ) they married.  More work to do, as you say, but a pretty good start !

Regards

Helen
