Eldest child being born elsewhere coudl be any reason. Perhaps he was apprenticed in his trade to someone and had to move there for his training. Or perhaps he simply had to go there for the work. I can't quite decipher his occupation - looks like Jet Worker - but to me that just says aeroplanes, but I'm sure someone else may come up with a more suitable answer.

they do say you learn something new everyday. A little investigation into both his and her siblings may turn up a connection in Duham and she went off their to give birth - or it may be a work thing. But hold fire until you get their marriage certificate and you have fathers names to compare to zoe
