Joseph Gray mar Elizabeth Sturrock 1916 Dinnington, Northumberland

[kt4u]

Hello,
(I am researching on behalf of a friend in Australia)
I am wondering if anyone has Joseph Gray mar Elizabeth Sturrock 1916 Dinnington, Northumberland in their tree.
His age is stated as 26 on his marriage record and his dad as William Gray.
My problem is that there are a couple of Josephs born about 1900 whose dad is William and I am trying to confirm to myself that I have found the right one.
I have a Joseph Gray Christening 09Feb1890, Long Houghton, Northumberland; Father: William Gray Mother: Johanna Gray.
I think that I am on the right track but wow! it would be amazing if anyone else has the same people and could agree that I have the correct people, as well as linking to my friend of course.
Thank you

Hello - wow! thanks for the quick reply.
Sadly I don't have the marr certs.
I just had a bit of luck - or you could say my extensive detective powers have helped.
I looked on freebmd for all births of Gray and Sturrock.
Their first born was Johnann - odd spelling.
But wait a mo... the same name as a Joseph's maternal nan!
So I do have thre right one.
and once again thank you very much.

I looked on freebmd for all births of Gray and Sturrock.

Their first born was Johnann - odd spelling.

The birth entry Dec qtr. 1917 Johnann GRAY has middle initial 'C'

I was wondering if this might be CAMERON the same middle name as two of
Joseph's brothers James & Peter Gray.

Was their mother Johnann's maiden name Cameron?

There is this marriage entry on FreeBMD
Jun 1881 Alnwick   10b   535
CAMERON John Ann   
other names on same page
GREY William   
Clark Robert Thompson
Ross Annie Bell

1881c John Ann CAMERON (1855) with parents John & Ann plus sibling living Northumberland https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q2WM-ZF1C

There's a possible marriage in 1947 Hendon Middlesex for
Johnan C GRAY to A McDERMOTT

and this death entry

Johnan Cameron McDERMOTT died age 70 born 16 Sep 1917
