Thomas Clark b(1880) in Sunderland/Durham married Margaret Murray. I am looking for his parents. I don't know their names, but he had a brother called George and a sister called Isabella. I think they lived in the Southwick area of Sunderland. Can anyone help please?

Thanks
Jane

Here is their marriage registration.

You should use the information to buy the marriage certificate from www.gro.gov.uk. The fathers' names will be on the certificate, and this will help in finding the correct fmaily. As you may imagine there are rather a lot of Thomas Clark's born in Sunderland/Durham!!


Marriages Dec 1921 (96%)

Clark Thomas Murray Sunderland 10a 1319
Murray Margaret Clark Sunderland 10a 1319




It is possible that he was married before as he seems to have been over 40 at the time of this marriage.

Thank you Ethel and Sylvia. You're both very helpful. Thomas is a hard one to find.

Thanks very much Sylvia, I have received their marriage certificate and I'm waiting for Thomas' birth cert to come through the post.

Thanks again
Jane
