Pat,
I think the Laybourn information I have probably doesn't help you.
I have a birth certificate for Joseph Laybourn, born 6 Feb 1857, to Mary Ann Laybourn (formerly Marwood) of 10 South Gate, Sunderland. This Joseph is not a direct relative of mine, but I have this birth certificate from doing Laybourn research.
Here is some official (by way of marriage certificate) information about my ancestor John Laybourn, for who I am trying to find his parentage:
John Laybourn, age 23 (son of John, deceased) married 11 Jan 1870, Julia Dunn, age 19,(parents James & Mary. According to the marriage certificate, John Jr. was living @ 23 Little Gate and Julia at 26 Peel St in the parish of Bishopwearmouth.
Both the groom & his deceased father (both Johns)are identified as having the profession of File Cutter. If you have any information about these Johns, please let me know.
Regards,
Brenda
