In 1871, they're in Consett still,  wrongly indexed as Matfield!

I'm not sure about Mary Ann's mother's surname. It's Shipley on marriage cert but there's a marriage Sept q, 1858, Durham v 10a p 256 with Matthew Whitfield and Mary Ann Thompson on the same page.

Then I've found a marriage Sep q, 1850, Durham v24 p 104 with a Mary Ann Shipley and a Robert Thompson on the same page.


Also, quite a few deaths for a Robert Thompson between 1850 and 1858, so the marriage to Matthew was probably a second marriage.
