Cannot find marriage!

Marcus Report 4 Aug 2011 14:44

I am trying to find a marriage between Mary Ann Foster b1860, in Crookdake/ Crookdale, Cumberland, and Luke Weightman b about 1860.

I was given this information about the wedding, but cannot find anything at all. I believe that the wedding took place in Cumberland, but don't actually know as it could have taken place in either Northumberland or Co. Durham as well.

Mary Ann Foster is daughter of William Foster & Ann Davidson, and sister to my great grandfather John Foster b1869 in Crookdake/Crookdale, Cumberland.

Any help most welcome!
