Hello,

I have been trying to get around a small problem, namely my ancestor Thomas
WELFORD was married in Barnard Castle in 1753 and I would like to know
where
he was born, obviously it wasn't Barney.

I have recently viewed the PR's on film and found both his marriage and
death entries. I was hoping that the marriage might have said "native of
...." but it seem I have missed by a year (the Bishop instructed parishes
to
record this info in 1754). Again I was hoping that his death record may
have said something in addition to his name, even his age, but no luck
there
either.

Could anyone suggest where I might now look to find something new which
would help find his birth place? Any suggestions would be gratefully
appreciated.
