Hello All I wonder if some kind soul can help me out. I have been trying to find the marriage between John Rutter and his wife Dorothy ??? for some time now ordering films through my local LDS centre and searching Boyd's marriage index for all the likely parishes in Durham but have had no success so far. I think that in all probability they would have been married around 1825 as the first child Eliza was born 1825-1826. John Rutter was born abt 1795 and spent nearly all his life farming in the Chester Le Street area. In the 1851 Census Dorothy is down as born at Byers Green and in the later census she is down as born at Newton Aycliff, both give her born abt 1787-1799. Unfortunately it is a little bit far to go to the Durham Records Office. Does anybody have any clues. Patrick Lewis Adelaide Australia -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
