Kathrine Miller maiden name and parents
« on: Thursday 06 June 24 15:32 BST (UK) »
Hi,
Kathrine Miller b. 1865 Houghton le Spring, married to Thomas Miller b. 1858 Hart, Co. Durham.
I've got her on later census when married but can't find trace of her before that. A possible marriage in 1884 in Easington but I'm not sure. Family source, a long time ago, said that at least one of her parents was from Ireland.

Do you have details of any children for this couple?
If so then search births  on
https://www.gro.gov.uk/. as the index there will give MMN prior to 1911

The Catherine Curran/ Thomas Miller marriage can be found on Durham Records Online. A free search gives the abode as Sheraton. A full transcript costing £3 should give father's name and names of witnesses.

In 1901 census there appears a son Holmes Miller aged 4.

His GRO birth registration reads, born 28th February 1897, abode Mill House, Castle Eden, father Thomas Millar occupation Coachman "Domestic", mother Catherine Millar nee' Collins

Following Thomas Miller back is straight forward, Catherine another matter, It's a must for the marriage certificate to determine father's name and occupation.

I have a subscription at DRO so was able to look at the 1884 wedding with Thomas Miller. Based on the information there, which I can't post (it is definitely worth seeing), I think the Curran family in 1871 is in Shotton:

RD Easington
ED 7
piece 4972
folio 48

or search in the 1871 for Catherine Curran, dob 1860, place of birth Newbottle and living in Shotton, to find the family that I am referring to.
Boyd, Dove, Blakey, Burdon

AlanBoyd, based on your post then the following is probable.

1861 census ref --Transcribed on Anc as Currin
Piece   3753
Folio   11
Page number   15

Births

CUMMIN, ANN       SIMPSON

CUMMINGS, JOHN  TURNER     mmn SIMPSON

Cannot find Catherine though, she is aged 4 on the 1861 census.
