Mary moved to Carnbee in Fife Scotland where Archibald was from and on the 61 census it says Durham 71 England and the 81 Norton. Hope this helps

I have the marriage cert for Mary and Archibald-also Mary's death cert where I got her father's name. It is the father Robert Blakeston that I can't find anywhere? Also there is no mothers name on Mary's death certificate. Any help with them appreciated

Thanks Rosie99 - all I know about Robert is his name from Marys marriage and death certificate. Mary also I can only find from 1861/71/81 census in Scotland-nothing on 41/51 census. I presume Archibald went to work there where they married in 1856- their first child was born there in 1857 then they moved to Scotland where their second child was born in 1858. Thanks for your help

The Robert I found in census is living at Norton which is where Mary said she was born on one census. 

Norton BT's are available to browse on familysearch

I will follow up on that. That would have made Robert about 54 when Mary was born. I still have to find Mary on 41/51 census and her mothers name. Thanks again for your help
