Hello List May I thank all of those listers who have responded to my query. It seems likely that Banns were called in St Jude's Knarsdale where Deborah BELL was resident and in the neighbouring parish of Alston where the native Knaresdalian Thomas COLTHARD was working in the lead mines. So I must go to originalsources on that assumption. Incidentally,their grand-daughter Nancy COLTHERD of Alston Moor married in Middleton in Teesdale which is in our areaof family history research. Thaks again Maurice
