I have successfully located the marriage for my g.g.grandmother's brother, Edward HULL who was born at Auckland St. Helens in l853, son of Matthew HULL and Isabella (DAVISON). Can anyone connect to the RUMFORDS? It is not a very common name! l88l, Aug 8th, Trinity Church, Parish of Darlington, county of Durham Edward HULL, 28, Bachelor, Engine Turner, residence Hill Street, father Matthew HULL, lab. Elizabeth Wright RUMFORD, 23, spinster, no occ., residence King Street, father Cuthbert RUMFORD, upholsterer witnesses Cuthbert RUMFORD, Margaret Lang RUMFORD I have located Cuthbert and family on the l88l Census - living at 38 King Street, Darlington, as follows: Cuthbert RUMFORD, 54, b. Birmingham, Warwick Mary Ann, 55, wife, b. Newcastle, NBL Wm. B., son, 29, b. Newcastle; Franie E., daur, 27, b. Newcastle: Elizabeth, daur., 23, b. Liverpool: Sarah, daur., 21, b. Newcastle: Margret, daur., l8, b. Newcastle: Annie, daur., l5, b. Darlington, George, son., l2, b. Darlington plus Nelly WRIGHT, 5, visitor, b. Sunderland. It is likely there was also another son, Cuthbert, 25, b. Liverpool who was a cabinet maker boarding at Westgate, NBL, with the MEIKLE family on the l88l census. I know of two children born to Edward and Elizabeth - Percy Edmondson HULL (b. l888) and Annie Isabella HULL (b. l890) but there may be more born between l88l and l888. Edward was a widower on the l90l Census. Regards Diane Johansen
