However I could not find the marriage in FreeBMD. The reason becomes obvious from the 1871 census and you can now apply for the marriage certificate. 1871 census RG10-4937 Folio 60 Addison Street, Crook, Crook & Billy Row, DUR George DEIGHTON Head Mar 45 Labourer YKS Yaforth Isabella do Wife Mar 43 DUR Harperley Frances J RAWE (RAINE) Stepson Unm 20 Blacksmith DUR do William do Stepson 19 Labourer DUR do Elizabeth J do Stepdaur 16 DUR Crook Margaret A DEIGHTON Daur 6 Scholar DUR do George A RAINE Stepson 17? Labourer DUR do Sarah DEIGHTON Daur 4 Scholar DUR do Thomas do Son 11 mo DUR do So George probably married not Elizabeth ATKINSON but Eliazbeth RAWE or RAINE in c. 1863. FreeBMD will probably show the earlier marriage of Isabella and also she could be found on the earlier censuses. FreeBMD has Marriages Dec 1863 Deighton George Auckland 10a 238 Fell Margaret Auckland 10a 238 RAINE Isabella Auckland 10a 238 RAINO Isabella Auckland 10a 238 Ross William Auckland 10a 238 Just ask for the marriage of George DEIGHTON and don't mention Isabella so they do not "bounce" the request due to spelling not being quite right.
