Added 2,145 witnesses to 776 existing marriages in the period 1813-1837 at Billingham, Bishop Middleham, Bishopton, Brancepeth, and Egglescliffe. Also added all missing details: whether the marriages were by banns or licence, a few occupations and marital statuses, and corrected a few minor spelling errors in names and place names.

Sample from Brancepeth before update:

• 31 Dec 1826 James Swann, of this parish married Mary Atchison, of this parish

and after the update:

• 31 Dec 1826 James Swann, of this parish married Mary Atchison, of this parish, by banns
  Witnesses: James Hubberthorn, George Hills
  [Note: Bride is Atchison in register but the signature is Aitchison.]
