Many thanks to all who answered my question and to all who had a hand in putting these records online. I have a lot of birth, marriage and death certs. for my family members and was looking at the Durham and Gateshead sites for them. At Gateshead I had missed the "record coverage" button and my records are not yet online. For Durham it says "many" births are online, I did not find my MAINS Annie 1907 or Eliza 1909. Durham says "all" marriages are covered but I did not find my William MAINS and Martha REAY 30th March 1907 (from cert.). All of the above are on freebmd. I wonder if there are plans to expand the coverage, perhaps not in these tough economic times. All help is greatly appreciated, Lynne.
