thanks all, back to the drawing board can't order all those certs :( Linda x

Linda, I found stocton and Bishop Auckland registry office to be very helpfull, If you ring them with the info you have they did a search for me while i was on the phone and i got the cert's i was looking for.

thank you, I will try but all I have to go on is his fathers name, how will I know if it's the right one? could be more than one Thomas Dinsdale with father Edward?

What is his father's occupation? You could try looking at the census for a Thomas with father Edward and see if any match the occupation and that might give you an idea which birth is the right one. Also, could either or both (or more?!) of the witnesses on the marriage cert be relatives of Thomas? Kate.

Linda, you never no your luck untill you try? do you no fathers occupation? that could be the Key, it will be on the marraige cert and the birth cert, although he may have changed his occupation, give them a ring you may get lucky good luck

sorry had to feed son was looking all hungrily at me! Unfortunately witnessess at wedding were Sarah Janes sister and brother in law so no help there, Thomas' father Edward was an iron caster very common(deceased) is there any way to search census by address? I have Thomas' address in 1911 maybe he was living with parents at same address in 1901? clutching at straws now :)

ok am back with another puzzle, I've just managed to find the adress given for Thomas on marriage cert on 1901 census unfortunately AGAIN his family aren't living there in 1901 however Sarah Janes family ARE! how weird is that? I'm at a loss now any tips?

just bumping this up because I still need help please Linda
