Many thanks Janis for the census info which confirms what another lister has sent and for the certificate info! I didn't think to look on the Durham site for births so that is excellent news. I had seen that marriage entry but wasn't sure if it was them or not. As you say they only way to find out for sure is to get the certificates. Things are definitely beginning to fall into place! Thanks again.
