Good idea Nivard - I would appreciate any help with the following GRAHAM/SPOORS family. They are "missing" from the 1861 CENSUS, and would love it if someone could find them. They should be in Scotswood, Benwell or perhaps Ovington or somewhere in between. They are the Adam GRAHAM and Margaret SPOORS. They were married on 23 Nov 1861, and their son Robert was born 22 Sep 1862 In 1841 and in 1851 Adam is with his parents in Ovington, NBL 1841 CENSUS HO107 841 12 folio 7 page 10 Ovington NBL Robert Grahm 30 b.

Hi Heather Nothing obvious springs out, was there an address on the marriage cert or birth in 1862? Have you found Margaret before 1861? Have you found Adams parents in 1861? Have you checked Dean Terrace in 1861?
