Member Since: May 2006 Posts: 5 Send Message	Hi all I’m looking for Mary Newton born Ireland 1845 married Thomas Britt/Brett in 1862 at Bishop Auckland in 1862. Mary’s father is listed as a blacksmith on the marriage cert. Thomas Britt/Brett was born 1840 Sligo Ireland. In the 1851 census there is an Andrew Newton aged 30 b Ireland, Robert aged 7, and Mary aged 6 staying with a family in Chapel en le Frith called Hewitt. They also show up in the 1861 census in St Mary’s parish Oldham, as again Andrew Newton, Robert Newton, and Mary Newton but also with another Robert Newton b1851 Ireland and Julia Newton b1821. I cannot find any mention of any of the family after this census apart from Mary when she marries Thomas. I am trying to locate any further information regarding this family, which parish were they born in Ireland, How did they get to Britain and when? Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated Paul
