Hello Jo,

You are spot on with all three replies. It is particularly interesting to get William Hoskins on the 1871 census as this is the only census that I have not been able to find him. Between 1861 and 1881 he moved from London to Darlington but I wasn't sure when.
Do you know where middleton is in relation to neasham? This seems like the correct Margaret Dent.
Also I have never found their marriage before.
I would be interested in seeing the images if you still have them.
Thankyou for your interest in this .It is much appreciated.
