That marriage entry is on FS and was indeed at St Nicholas

Mainsforth, if you don't have the record and would like it, the image can be viewed at a Family History Centre - or a digital copy from the parish register could be ordered from Northumberland Archives for £4.25 - which is a LOT cheaper than a GRO cert and you get the bonus of it being a scan of the original record, complete with the signatures of all concerned (or their X if they weren't able to sign!)

Thank you for your offer of help to get info from Durham Parish Registers. I spent the first 26 years of my life in South West Durham - my forum id comes from the village in which I spent my late teens. I now live in Hampshire and find it impossible to get back to the County of my birth.

Thank you for telling me there is no headstone for Mary and Joseph in the Tanfield St Margaret's Churchyard.

A couple of years back I found a photo - at
https://www.gravestonephotos.com/search/fullnamesearch.php?forename=Frances&surname=Fletcher&area=Durham&search=Full+name&exactforename=no&exactsurname=yes - of a headstone for her son Edward Fletcher (born 8 Sept 1840, died 21 Jan 1892). The name of his wife, Frances Fletcher (baptised 22 Mar 1837, died 15 Jun 1881) - maiden name Trueman - is the first name on the headstone. Martha Hannah Fletcher (born Apr to June 1871, died Jan to Mar 1872), their daughter, is the second.

Thank you for your post about the marriage of Joseph and Mary.

Thanks for your for your tip that it is cheaper to get a digital copy from a Parish Register from the Northumberland Archives than from the GRO. I will bear it in mind when looking for "hard copy" where documents might be held by a local authority. I unfortunately bought a certificate from the GRO last year.
