It could be Gorton - although Oldham seems a little out of the loop.  Worth considering though - thank you.

Well, thanks to everyone for trying! 

Sorry about the double thread too - I hadn't realised just how quick rootschatters would be in reponding, so I put a question on 2 different county boards.

If anyone has further inspiration please let me know - I'm off to check the possibles.  (It is just so frustrating not knowing where in the country these two could have got to!!!!)

shouldn't worry too much about the areas. if you were to ask half the population today where leeds was they wouldn't have a clue and thats with modern education and media sources. back then Most people coudn't read or write and had to sign with a cross.Very few saw the sea in their lifetimes. Most information was passed down verbally   More than half my rellies in London have 3 or 4 differing locations for their birth place  Roll Eyes

Hi,

I notice, from one of your earlier messages, that the GRO were unable to find a birth registration entry nor could a baptism entry be found.

Looking at the 1881 census, it occurred to me that the Lancaster Dalton (for the place of birth of Mary E) relates to Dalton-in-Furness. When I saw Joseph's occupation as a miner, it reminded me of my own relatives who were Iron Ore Miners in the same area.

I then searched freebmd and found a registration for Elizabeth Mary Dobson, Ulverston district, Sep 1872. Could this be your missing relative, if you consider reversing the Christian names, aged 9 in 1881?

This does not help with finding the marriage, but it may confirm her mother's maiden name if you obtained the certificate (but you may not need to now).

It was just a thought!

Regards

Chris

Thanks Chris.  I have - at last - found that her maiden name was Mark.  So that part of the puzzle is solved.  I will have another look at the Elizabeth Mary idea though.  I had someone who looked at all the Marys in Dalton in Furness, but came up with nothing.  Could be we needed to look for Elizabeths.

Thanks again.   Now it's on to the puzzle of Mary Ann Mark's father Thomas, who disappears in 1851 (and may, or may not have gone to Australia)  and the puzzle of which of the many Joseph Dobsons is mine.

All the best.
