why would my ggg grandad get married in gateshead when all other censuses and such refer to him being from shotley.
his wife was born there also.

his name was william davison and hers was elizabeth bell

He could have been born in Shotley, moved to Gateshead for employment and married there.

Hi,
   perhaps Elizabeth is from Gateshead,and that's where William met her, I have an ancestor ,who I know was born in Cheadle, and yet in census's she's down as born in Longton...
