Does not help much but Durham County Advertiser of 18 July 1851 has an advert for the letting of THE BEER-HOUSE situate at Thistle Flatt, near Crook, lately occupied by John MILBURN.
Apply to the Durham Brewery Company.

Update on that death in 1852 in Stockton District - To confirm the age there is a burial at Sedgefield 7 Apr 1852 of a John MILBURN age 75.

Witnesses at marriage:-
John Ridley Sanderson   Catherine Proud   Priscilla Sherwood James Mellonby (x)

I did a quick check on these.   Priscilla Sherwood lived in Yarm in 1841 where marriage took pace.

Catherine Proud born c.1822 lived in Yarm also.   She was a spinster who died 1891 and buried in Yarm.  In her Will left £210 to a Thomas Newton.   Maybe Elizabeth's sister?  All census say she was born in Crathorne like John Milburn

John Ridley Sanderson married 1844 Darlington, Durham.   In 1834 according to Poll books was living at Low Foxton Farm, Crathorne

James Mellonby born Rudby an ag. lab. married to Elizabeth Thompson

Crathorne definitely seems to be a connection.

Thank you for that info glendye1789.
You have obviously been very thorough with your research

[Spelk]

According to GENUKI the baptisms of Crathorne go way back but the earliest MILBURN I have found is 1830. The baptism images on FindMyPast show some PROUD baptisms but not quite back to when Elizabeth was born and it does not show the Catherine who was witness at the wedding.

Baptisms in Crathorne on FindMyPast for surnames PROUD and MILBURN.
