I have hit a brick-wall with the marriage of my gt.gt.grandparents Theodore George Brittain and Margaret Davidson. Theodore George, or "just" George was born in Wooler in 1839 and Margaret was born in Coldstream abt.1838 - the marriage probably took place between 1858-1859 as their first child Isabella Mary Dixon was born in Newcastle upon Tyne 8 July 1860 and was christened in St.Andrews Church. I can find no record of a marriage between them, but on Isabella's birth cert. her mother is given as Margaret Brittain formerly Davidson. The family lived all their lives in Newcastle.
Can anyone help please?
Patricia

It is possible that they we not married, I have one in mine that says that but I can find no trace of a legal marriage either.

Hi Patricia 
Were her parents John and Helen?
There's a possible family in Coldstrream on the 1841 with a daughter Margaret aged 1. I'm trying to locate her on the pre-1961 censuses to see when she moved.
No marriage showing on SP but it might be an irregular marriage

Hi Gadget,
Thanks for your reply. We don't know who her parents are, and we needed the marriage cert. to find out. On the 1851 census there are Andrew and Isabella - he is a Mason, who I think are the more likely candidates. George & Margaret's first daughter was named Isabella, the first son John (George's father) and the next son Andrew (who died 1 years old). They then went on to have Mary Jane, Margaret, George and Annie. So they could have followed a naming pattern.
My cousin is also researching the family and like me can find no trace of a marriage. She did, however, find the graves of George's father and grandfather in the Dissenters part of Wooler Cemetery. All of Georges family were christened in the NonConformist Presbyterian Church.
Regards Patricia

Sorry Gadget,
I meant the 1841 Census. In 1851 there is no Margaret, but there is a Margaret of the right age as a Domestic Servant in Coldstream.

Hi Beckey,
Many thanks. I will check this out, especially the death of son James at Newcastle. It sounds as if it is the right family.
regards Patricia

Hi Beckey,
I have found James Davidson in the 1901 Census. He is a boarder in Newcastle with the family of Edward and Mary Charlton. Mary is the daughter of George and Margaret Dixon, so I am sure it is the right family.
Many thanks for your help.
Patricia
