Title: Durham Marriage Bonds
Post by: Wattsy on Monday 19 April 10 21:53 BST (UK)

Just wondering if anybody had access to the Durham Marriage Bonds for 1725 - 1750.  I am trying to trace the family of Chipchase.

I know that they were living in Stockton on Tees around and after these dates but have no idea where they came from.  There is a birth of a Thompson Chipchase to John and Elizabeth Chipchase in 1730 - no trace of Elizabeth`s maiden name.

If anybody has any ideas please let me know.

Thanking you in anticipation.

It's a pay per view site but searching is free.

This is the only marriage I can see on Durham Records:

1733 John Chipchase obtained a licence to marry Elizabeth Shepherd.

IGI has  John Chipchase marrying Elizabeth Snaith     
03 JUN 1731      Auckland Saint Andrew, Durham, England

both after birth of Thompson though  ::)
