Hi Barbara I can't see an obvious marriage but thats not to say they didn't, although it is more than possible they never married While looking for your man I came across the following in 1861 Name: John Folds Age: 26 Estimated birth year: abt 1835 Relation: Head Spouse's name: Margret Gender: Male Where born: Carlisle, Cumberland, England Civil parish: Elswick Ecclesiastical parish: Elswick St Paul County/Island: Northumberland Country: England Registration district: Newcastle Upon Tyne Sub-registration district: Westgate ED, institution, or vessel: 23 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 37 Household Members: Name Age John Folds 26 Margret Folds 28 Hugh Folds 8 Sarah Folds 2 Andrew Folds 18 John Graham 50 David Renwick 26 Sarah Ann Renwick 29 Thomas James Renwick 4 John Renwick 1 John Graham 13 RG9; Piece: 3816; Folio: 8; Page: 9; GSU roll: 543191. So is this the right family and if so has John remarried or is Margaret really the Isabella you seek ? People often changed names in mid stream for some reason or other best known to themselves As to giving false information, yes very common indeed I did find a possible death for an Isabella FAULDS though Deaths Mar 1856 FAULDS Isabella Carlisle 10b 151 Could they have married in Scotland perhaps?

Hi Nivard, Thanks for your reply. Yes, your John Folds is my man. I had found that record already. John's surname has been written/transcribed as Fowels, Folds, Fooles, Fales, etc etc so anything to do with him takes a while to find ! I think he lived with/was married to Isabella, had Hugh, then Isabella died. Hopefully the death cert will reveal all ! Margaret would be his 2nd wife.
