Following my query yesterday about "Blyton" (thanks to Brian for confirming what I suspected), I now have a query about a marriage certificate in the same general area! Andrew DICK and Anna JOHNSON were married on 2nd August 1840. The certificate (from the GRO) says: "Marriage solemnized in the Chapelry of Horton in the Parish of (unclear) in the County of Northumberland" I'm trying to decipher/research what the unclear bit might be: the extract from Whellan's 1855 History, Topography, and Directory of Northumberland ( http://www.bpears.org.uk/genuki/NBL/Horton/) says that in 1768 it obtained all the privileges of a distinct parish ... so I'm now confused as to why it would be described as being in another parish, or indeed which. The copy isn't clear, but I think what is written is something of a similar shape to Noadhouse ?? Thanks again in anticipation, Karen
