Hello All, I have a birth certificate for Hugh Faulds dated 18th July 1853 in Carlisle. His father is John Faulds and mother, who registered the birth, Isabella Faulds formerly Foster. However, I cannot find a marriage for John and Isabella searchng either name. Could they have just been possibly living together and Isabella gave false information ? Was that a common thing to do? or should I keep looking for the marriage ? Look forward to receiving any suggestions, Thanks Barbara Newton

We only cover the counties of Northumberland and Co Durham. Carlisle is in Cumbria (formerly Cumberland) so you need a list covering that area such as CUMBERLAND, ENG-CUL-CARLISLE or ENG-CUMBRIA.
