Hi Irene
The GRO record is a third copy of the marriage information, the Durham Registry Office copy is a second copy and the bride's name is shown as Morrison in the Durham index so that is almost certainly the name that they have. The original church record may show Maddison but I suspect that it also will show Morrison.
Your statement about Barbara's birth certificate Barbara Jones on her birth certificate lists
"The mark of Mary Maddison present at the birth, Wood Street, Thornley" suggests that Elizabeth could not write and probably could not read. consequently if the clergyman officiating at her wedding recorded her name as Morrison she would not know.
All the best

Hi Irene
If I have followed the posts in this thread correctly the closest to an original entry will be the entry in the church register that Barbara refers to
Marriage:
Wingate Grange Holy Trinity
4 Dec 1893 John Edward Jones, age 20, son of John Jones married Elizabeth Morrison, age 19, daughter of Mark Morrison
This entry should have been completed and signed at the time of the wedding. Wingate Grange was in the ancient parish of Kelloe and according to Genuki the church records for Wingate Grange, 1841 to 1989, are held at the Durham Record Office. Given that you know the date of the marriage and the name of the bridegroom, the Record Office will probably be able to find the record and send you a photocopy for a reasonable charge.
All the best

Hi Irene
You might want to leave the topic open until you finally get that marriage information and let us know what you find.
When you want to "complete" this thread go back to your first post and click modify. Then edit the title to start COMPLETE Barbara Jones born in ....
All the best

Hi Gobbo
Well I just heard back from Durham Records Office and this is what they said:
I have checked the marriage and banns registers for Wingate, Holy Trinity, for the entries relating to John Edward Jones but regret that in each entry Elizabeth is shown as Morrison rather than Maddison. She has signed the marriage register with her mark, 'X', alongside the name Elizabeth Morrison which has been entered by the incumbent.
Gobbo, I don't know where to look anymore. I know they had several children. I think about 10, The ones listed below are just the ones I can give immediate proof other than my grandmother's birth cert.
Jones Frances A Maddison Easington 10a 941 MARCH qtr 1912
JONES Benjamin T Maddison Easington 10a 963 Dec. Qtr. 1913
Jones Edward Maddison Easington 10a 920 June Qtr. 1916
Jones Nicholas Maddison Easington 10a 839 Sept. Qtr. 1918
Any Ideas???

Hi Irene
I think that if there had been another John Edward Jones married to an Elizabeth Morrison somebody would have found some other record such as a census record for this other family.
If it were my family I would be very confident that the marriage record relates to John Edward Jones and Elizabeth Maddison and that the celebrant misheard or recorded her surname wrongly. As she probably could not read very well, especially hand-writing, I guess that she was happy to put her mark to the name Morrison and nobody noticed the mistake or if they did felt unwilling to challenge the clergyman.
All the best
