Here is one baptism at Hetton le Hole:

Hannah Caroline McAbe baptised 31 Jan 1838 d/o Abraham and Mary Roseby?

The marriage was in Houghton le Spring 29 Jan 1837 Abraham McAbe and Mary Bowlby Marsden

There is a baptism in Bishopwearmouth for a Mary Elizabeth Marsden 8 Apr 1832 daur of Mary Bowlby Marsden, no father listed

I thought that McCabe would be a rare name in County Durham but Durham Records Online has 12 pages of them. I could not however find a baptism of Elizabeth McCabe on Durham Records Online or family search.org  so the Birth Certificate is a good investment. However family search.org has the marriage of Abraham McCabe/Mary Bowlby Maridon (sic) 29 JAN 1837, Houghton-le-Spring, County Durham.

A family tree on Ancestry has Abraham as the son of Edward McCabe and Hannah Williamson. Baptized Bishopwearmouth, 8 April 1814.
I don't think Bishopwearmouth baptisms after 1812 are available to view online so maybe some kind person could look it up to confirm.

If it is the right one, then Edward McCabe, Bachelor of Houghton le Spring. married Hannah Williamson, Spinster of Dalton le Dale, at Dalton le Dale, 2 Dec 1805.

First childs baptism, at Dalton le Dale.
01 Jan 1807 Mary Ann McCabe, born 27 Aug 1806, 1st daughter of Edward McCabe, Native of Step-aside, Dublin, Ireland, and Hannah, daughter of William Williamson, Native of Willistone in Bishop Auckland.

Several other children baptized in Dalton le Dale and Houghton le Spring.

Last one looks to be Harriet, baptized 3 Dec 1826, at Houghton le Spring, daughter of Edward and Hannah McCape of Hetton (father - Labourer).

I have an index of Bishopwearmouth C of E baptisms 1813-1839 and no Abraham McCabe unless they missed it off.

It was at Dalton le Dale. Looks like the correct parents though.

How about this one for Mary. A little bit older than on the 1841 census.

Durham St. Mary South Bailey. Born 15 Jul 1805, baptized 4 August 1805.
Mary, 5th daughter, 6th child of Peter Bowlby Marsden and his wife Elizabeth.

An earlier sibling of this Mary is down as Arabella, daughter of the Revd Peter Bowlby Marsden, Proctor and Public Notary, and his wife Elizabeth Hull.

A marriage at Durham South Bailey, St. Mary the Less.

29 Dec 1789. Peter Bowlby Marsden and Elizabeth Hull.

I think the younger Mary Ann McCabe in 1851 census onwards is probably Abrahams second wife Mary Ann Gilmour.

Sunderland Registrars site has a marriage of Abraham McCabe and Mary Ann Gilmore 1847. He's Abraham McAbe on FreeBMD. Houghton le Spring Mar 1847. Marriage cert would confirm his father.
