Try looking at the next census for couples whose names fit. It may help to narrow it down.

Right I now have 3 possible husband´s for Margaret. And none of them ring a bell. Though one has the same surname as Mgt. Surtees. I suppose I will just have to send for cert. But thanks Jim & Sam for your help.

Hi Jim, thanks for replying.
I see that the first name is on the same page as my Mgt. Surtees. What I need to know is how did you bring up the names with just the page no. yr & qtr?
If I could do that myself then I could read through every entry on that page to find the husband.

Can someone advise me please.

Have found Margaret Surtees marriage entry.
3 qtr. 1884 p.849 South Shields

Have trawled through possible names for her husband without success during same qtr.

Is there somewhere where I can just put in the year and qtr and page no. and see what comes up? (Like her husband!) or is this just wishful thinking?

Just thought I´d ask this before I send off for cert. Thanks
