They are all shown as born Bishop Auckland.

If you look on familysearch site there is a possible birth in 1846 at West Rainton,Durham only mother shown as Emma perhaps born out of wedlock that is why with relations.

Also his marriage 26 Apr 1869 to Mary BRIDDICK at Escomb.

Hope this is what you were hoping for.
