James Lemon was a coal miner. From the 1901 Census Barbara was born in 1876. and the most likely Matthew Hutton is a visitor with a family in Harton, South Shields, who was born in 1872, and is a mason's labourer. If you get the marriage certificate of Matthew and Barbara, it will confirm his occupation. The GRO reference is 10a 1701 and you can order online at http://www.col.statistics.gov.uk/ This Matthew Hutton's father, John Hutton, was a mariner in the 1881 census.. Stan
