Hi Joan

I found the marriage on www.freebmd.org.uk


that's a free site, the official place to find bmds from the start of registration in England and Wales on July 1 1837 to the present day ........... they are currently up to about 1945 or 1950, and volunteers are working hard to get the bdms upto 1983 onto the site.

The surname is definitely Halliday.

Next page to Jacob & Isabella Rowell. Looks like David may have come from Scotland.

I think 7 year old Margaret may be the daughter of Margaret before her marriage, and not necessarily the daughter of David. All these children are probably no relation to the Rowells.

I did find Jacob's baptism in Allendale nr Haxham Northumberland he was the son of Daniel & Jane so I have Jane's maiden name to find too, should keep me quite for a while!!! Joan

Hi Sylvia Thank's for all the help I feel I'v jumped way ahead in a very short time, I found Jane & Wm Nobel on the 1891 census, & found all the baptism's so I know most of the middle name's some of which are unusual to say the least, as follow's Wilhelmina Edgarina, Mark Athel, Alicia Beatrice Hubert Arthur [E?], Adeline Jane Blander & Sparke Hughow, see what I mean! I also found Wm died@ the end of 1909 aged 77yrs & I think I've found Jane's death @ the begining of 1919 aged 83yrs, her sister Isabella Edgar [Parkinson] died @ the end of 1916 aged 79yrs in the Carlisle area [Cumberland] Isabella's son Wm Frederick was the only fam she had left alive even though I can't find him on the census after 1891.

Hi Ozi I did get the info you found but no other info since this so I am thinking they must have died before the next census & I have'nt yet found if maybe the spelling, as it took me 5yrs to find another relative that the spelling was translated totally wrong but when you seen the census it was on I could read it no problem, I think the translator must have been tired !! Thanks for the input. Joan
