Help please

Trying to locate the marriage of Thomas Davis (1831) to Elizabeth Jones (1835) I have them on the 1861 census in Sunderland with three children the eldest born in 1856.

I also have Thomas with his parents on 1851 census also in Sunderland so marriage must be between 1851 and 1856.

Researching:
Mclachlan (Culcabock Inverness) Davis (North East UK) Roberts (Penzance/Isle of Man) Cunningham (North East UK)

Your welcome Karen, and yes I did find it from

freebmd.org.uk

They were the only ones I could see for Sunderland--but as Elizabeth was born Ireland ( stated on 1861 census) --you never know !!

You hopefully should be able to see if the marriage is the right one by "matching" his fathers name and occupation, from the cert.

Best wishes
Barbara xx
