Hi all,

I am having major doubts as to the consistency in my research into the Mawson side of my family tree.
I have a John Mawson, born circa 1840 in Darlington.
He worked much of hife as a brick yard manager (brick maker), and married twice.
Once to Elizabeth (surname unknown) and once to Martha Johnson.

I have a census image from 1851 which shows a John, born in Darlington with parents James and Hannah.
I am almost 100% that this is my family.
However I ordered John's second marriage certificate today and he has listed his Fathers name as John and not James.

Not sure where to go from here as I have been unable to find his birth cert or 1st marriage cert.
