1843: at marriage, described as 'of full age'. Residence is Mushroom (no longer used as a district name, but Audrey Thorogood has kindly clarified its location as being the area downstream of Ouseburn, around St Lawrence Rd in Newcastle).
1851 census: living at Waldridge Fell, with husband and children (and a servant!). Age is 28 and place of birth is 'Durham' [meaning the county, I think].

Burradon and Fawdon are about 8 km apart, just north of Newcastle/Tyne; there is also a Benton Square nearby.
