Durham / George PICKERING/Alice HARKER
« on: Friday 01 November 19 00:57 GMT (UK)  »
I've been on the Northumberland forum with my questions and had great help. I am now chasing up the marriage of these 2 people on 24 April 1871 (familysearch) and freebmd show the entries. However there could be confusion with her name could be HAWKER. Is there a way I can see this actual marriage entry to see for myself. The Durham Co records on line come up with nothing.
Cheers

I have a NSW birth transcription for Matthew Lonsdale Pickering, 1887 born in Lithgow, NSW parents George Pickering stated to be born Co. Durham and married to Margaret Carty in Newcastle, definitely not NSW Newcastle, but could it be Newcastle on Tyne, thence Northumberland?? Date not given of marriage. At least 3 other children before 1887 in NSW. Margaret birthplace also Co Durham Her name down elsewhere as Mc/Mac Carty. Any pointers on this couple please. Margaret sometimes listed as Mary.

« on: Wednesday 09 January 19 07:43 GMT (UK)  »
Looking into my Clare family emigrating to Australia in 1880 and I find a famine in the western part of the country in 1879. Would Clare residents - farmers- have suffered, any reading to be done apart from Wikipedia?
