Might this be Wingate and Whingate Grange Colliery in Durham?

Maggie,

Do you have this place name from the census or the marriage certificate?  In either case you should have the parish name - if you post that it might make this place easier to locate.

Wingate and Wingate Grange in 1841 is full of Richardsons. There is also a Sarah Wall aged 22

Peter,

I have the Marriage Certificate of John Richardson and Sarah Walls, John was a Pitman, The Parish was Kelloe, and they both lived at kingate Grange.  I would love to be able to find out about their parents, Sarah's father was William, he was also a Pitman, but John father who was also named William was a labourer. 
On the Cert John and Sarah's age is FULL, what age could this be?
John and Sarah were my GGGRANDPARENTS.

Now that we know it was in Kelloe Parish (Durham incidentally, nor Northumberland ;D) the correct address seems almost certainly Wingate or Wingate Grange, not Kingate, as Peter already said (see Durham place-name index http://tinyurl.com/2ueun4)

Full age usually means over 21.

Sarah Wall is readily identifiable aged 22 in 1841 daughter of William Wall 54 Coalminer and Mary his wife 45. She had a brother William 20 and John Wall 20 coalminer with wife and son in Wingate Grange was probably another.
There are 6 families of Richardsons all coalminers but no William with a son old enough or a John who could be of suitable age to marry Sarah in 1841, unless John Richardson 35 Banksman in Wingate Grange suddenly lost his wife Elizabeth and swiftly remarried. Its possible of course that Sarah's future husband was simply elsewhere on census night and only a relation of the Wingate Richardsons.
Good Luck
