Hello list- I am totally unfamiliar with places and distances in England. I'm hoping that some one will be able to tell me if two locations are the same place or near each other at all. My question is: Is Sedgefield, Durham the same as or near Spennymoor, Durham? Why I'd like to know: I am looking for information on Mary Ann SCOTT (born about 4 April 1835 in Durham, England) and any of her family members. She is our GG Grandmother. --I know that Mary Ann's father was William SCOTT (per her death certificate 14 Dec. 1913 in Michigan, USA) --I know that Mary Ann Scott married William STOKOE about 1860. --Mary Ann some times went by the name Ann. --Ann Scott STOKOE is shown in the 1871 England Census: Linthorpe, Yorkshire (But her place of birth is not legible. It looks like either NK or WC to me!) --I know that Ann Scott STOKOE was born in Spenny Moor (per the 1881 British Census: Skelton In Guisbrough, York) Then I looked in the 1851 England Census for Mary Ann as a child age 15. I found a family with the head of household, William Scott. But, the 1851 Census (Wolsingham, Durham) shows that this particular Mary Ann SCOTT was born in Sedgefield. Can anyone help me determine if these two Mary Ann Scotts born in Sedgefield and Spennymoor could be one and the same? Thanks for any assistance. Lorie (New Jersey, USA)
