Hello, trying to find a marriage place for Robert Pattinson and Mary Nixon. Robert was born Stanley, Durham. civil parish Tanfield, ecclesiastical parish Beamish, town Havannah. His birth is about 1853. Mary was born about 1855. Birth place Greenside, Durham. Civil parish Tanfield, ecclesiastical parish Beamish. Town Havannah, Durham.They are my great grandparents. my nanna was born 1892 . Havannah, Tanfield. Mary possibly would have been about 21 years at the time of her marriage. On the 1891 census, their oldest daughter was 16 years old. Hoping to hear something. Kind regards, Merle.

Hi Merle,

Couldnt find a marriage for Mary and Robert between 1870-1880, but on the 1881 census there is a Mary Nixon age 26 unmarried housekeeper born Ryton? with daughter Ellen age 5 born Stanley.

Living at 13 Francis Street is a family called Pattinson. Robert Pattinson dosnt give relationship to head of household, he is age 28, but living at no 14 there is a family called Dixon. Do you want the info?

Hi Julie, thank you so much for checking this out for me. I would be grateful if you could dig a bit deeper for me. I have the 1891 census and, Mary is listed here as wife of Robert. Their oldest child is Ellen, aged 15 years.This would make her age correct.
Kind regards, Merle.

Hi again Julie, Robert's age is also correct too. He is listed on the 1891 census as 38 years old. Mary is listed as 36 years old. Seems too much of a coincidence !!. Looks like you could have the right couple.Once again thanks. Kind regards Merle.
