Hello everyone. I have a number of brick walls that I have come across, but the most frustrating one is my grandmother's family. My grandmother maiden name is Kelly with Irish connections. I have her mother and father Philip and Mary, but thats about all I can completely conform with certainty. I know Philips father is Thomas Kelly (1859-1926) and his mother is Bridget Whelan (1860-1902), but these names are so common in Ireland and Liverpool/Manchester that trying to figure out which ones are mine is proving to be very difficult. I have some names in my tree, but I have stopped researching as I have gone wrong before and had to delete a load of research as I had gone down the wrong family! Any help or advice very gratefully received!

Before I take the plunge and order a marriage certificate, can anyone advise where else I can seach for the marriage details of Hannah Ferry born 1855, Sunderland (Parents William Ferry and Hannah Clark). I have found 2 possible marriages - Robert William Evans (Married 1875 - Sunderland) William Clouder (Married 1877 - Sunderland) I have searched - Ancestry, Findmypast, Familysearch, and Durham Records Online, but they have only resulted in the Index record which doesn't show her fathers details etc. On the census of 1871 Hannah was living at 12 Gerald Street, Bishopwearmouth, Sunderland, if that may help. Thank you
