Joseph Dove and Christiana Gardin both of this parish by Banns.

Thanks Jen, that looks very promising as parents for my Christian and her brother Joseph!

If I have the right person, Christiana's 1832 burial in Marske states she was 61, i.e. born c. 1771. Residence Shields.

Baptism at Marske 11 April 1771 Christian daughter of Christopher Gardiner of Marsk.

Oooh thanks! I had seen that death but it's good to have it confirmed. And the birth is a bonus prize!!

On Christiana and Joseph's Banns it states that one of the witnesses to the actual marriage was a Christopher Gardin

That's all sounding very good to me.

I wonder whether I should go with Gardin or Gardiner as the surname....
