Brick wall - Thomas Durant x 2

[trish1120]

Thanks for that, but still not sure how it fits into puzzle. Tried to search for Hannah pickering marriage to Durant a well

Maybe they never married

Have put another posting to try and solve this, but have to go off-line for a while

Hannah Fern is there in Sep 1862, but the page un-indexed.

If you have Ancestry search for John Fenton, look at the page then it is on the next page.

Hi maidmarionoops,

Thanks for that - it certainly helps for when I progress further... I have progressed down one avenue - and think his father was James and his mother Elizabeth Simnett, but having two Thomas Durants crop up as being baptised within weeks in the same parish poses the problem... hence my need to track down the marriage certificate. I've gone back to the GRO and not heard back from them... Without nailing it, I am taking a leap of faith about which is the right one...

I've got to get that certificate or I am stuffed...!

Thanks again for that look-up... really appreciate it...

Maidmarionoops,

So far I have only got his name is Thomas Durant (ie no middle name)... This is my first significant brick wall (I have perhaps had it a bit easy so far!) but all these hints might help me crack it or make an educated guess. Thanks again.. all really helpful.

The nightmare scenario is that they never actually got round to getting married and making it official, but pretended they did. I would have thought that was very unusual in those days..
