    3. Hello everyone, I'm new to the Durham list and am hoping someone might be able to help me with a few questions... I'm researching my great great grandparents who were Irish born but lived in Co. Durham during the 1860s. John FAY b. ca.1846 Alice nee FAULKNER b. ca. 1845 Married St Cuthbert's Chapel, Old Elvet 1869 (Alice's maiden name is mis-transcribed on the certificate as FAHAN) When they married John worked in a Colliery and Alice as a domestic. I have found them (and John's daughter from his previous short marriage to Mary FINN) in the 1871 census, living in Railway St, Haswell. But I can't find a Railway St in the contemporary map of Haswell, only a Station St! If anyone has come across my folk or can solve the mystery of Railway Street, I'd be very grateful. Also,is there any way of tracking Irish migration to the NE? Many thanks and living in hope, Courtney -- Courtney Pedersen Brisbane, Australia Researching: FAY, FAULKNER, MOORE, TENNANT - England
