Hi Sheila
Just 'Google' for 'durhamrecordsonline' (all one word)
Register with them which is really easy it's just your email address and a password
After this the press Search Button
Once you find it then scroll down on the first page (a big scroll)
Put in the search form..............
Edward Collins
From a drop down list of SEARCH IN..........choose marriages
Press Search
You'll see that Edward Sharpe Collins appears.........so you know that's your man (and it's not just me making it all up)

On the left hand side of the screen you'll see Buy Credits..........click on that and follow the instructions
You can buy credits through World Pay or Pay Pal so you know that the site is safe (well, I've never had any problems in the last five years)
Once you've paid for your credits go back and repeat on the search form the details of what you want ie: Edward Sharp......marriage.........choose the 1881 marriage
On the right hand side it says something on a little tab against his name VIEW RECORD.......Click on that and you should get the details of the marriage...........all of the purchased records are automatically sent to your email address AND they are stored at durhamrecordsonline so if your computer ever crashes you can still go back and retrieve the record using another computer
Good luck

'durhamrecordsonline' have a marriage record for Edward Sharpe Collins in 1881 in Hutton Henry ( a village in Co Durham) and he married Honor O' Connor
The marriage record from 'durhamrecordonline' will cost you about £1.25p (but the minimum purchase is four records to view at the cost of about a fiver which is a lot cheaper than buying the marriage certificate)
The marriage record will give you the date, the church, the groom's name, his Father's name and possibly the father's occupation
The same information will apply to the bride but at least if you buy this record you get Edward's father's name

'durhamrecordsonline' have a burial record for Thomasina Collins born 1804, died 1834 in Walworth Street, Sunderland.This might explain why she isn't in the 1841 census

where is Thomasine 1834 in 1851 then? I'm not even finding that!

Ozibird

Ozibird Report 3 Aug 2010 22:22

However it looks like nobody has found them in 1841.

It would be nice if you answered that question.
