Jennifer, Unless you can be quite certain that the 1841 Durham Eleanor is the one who you are looking for, it might be advisable to send a query to the Durham records office (with all the relevant family data that you know for sure), rather than simply order the 1841 certificate. As you should see from the link that I sent previously, they have a ready made process for people to "send a query". I have not used that service myself - others may be able to tell you more about it. Good luck, Tim S.
