Marriage/maiden name woes
I have a couple in my tree but struggling with a mismatch between the mmn on their childrens births and the brides surname at marriage.
March 1845 marriages
Whitby 24, 561
Joseph Harforth to Margaret Brydon
The birth index for 1847-1870 brings up the children who appear in the census but the mmn has several variant spellings; Bridon/Briden/Bryden as well as Dridon/Dryden.
Margaret died in 1915, age through census is fairly consistent suggesting a birth about 1828-1830 and born Marske, Yorks. There is an 1841 in the surname of Bridon but I can't find a baptism in any Bridon/Dridon variant.
