    1. [DUR-NBL] HODGSON/MARSHALL marriage Brancepeth 1786

    3. Hello, I am a new lister and I'm hoping to find out more about Charles Hodgson and Margaret Marshall, who were married in 1786 at Brancepeth ( from the IGI). I think there is a strong possibility that the above are the parents of Sarah Hodgson, baptized at Sheffield St. Peter's in 1787. There were several other siblings of Charles and Margaret, all baptized in St Peter's, including Hugh Marshall Hodgson, bp in 1799. Another possible link to Durham with Sheffield is through the LAX family. I found a possible baptism for Margaret MARSHALL on the IGI, the mother being Sarah LAX. In the Sheffield census of 1841/51 there is a LAX family and the head of the family, Joseph, was born in Durham. What I would like to find out about Charles and Margaret is if they were from the parish and the names/occupations of their fathers. I have no other links with the area and don't know it at all, and as I live in Hampshire, it is too far away for me to travel to the DRO. Can anyone tell me if there are any transcripts of the marriages at Brancepeth for the above period that I could purchase ( fiche wouldn't be any good as I don't have a reader). Thanks, Jane
