A note about the places our ancestors lived. This is a snipping of google maps where I have plotted where the Anderson and Marley branches of the family lived over a period of about 100 years taken from English census and parish records. 

Grandfather Anderson was born in Wingate, his mother Annie Marley was born in Trimdon and William her husband was born in Coxhoe and they were married in Kelloe. All of these places are only a few kilometers from each other.

You can try entering St Helen's Church, Kelloe, Durham and it should take you to the church which you can see from Streetview.

As I am sure you are familiar with Google maps you can enter the place names and explore using satellite and Streetview. The English census does not give addresses, some of the later ones had street names but most of the 19th-century homes are no longer there.
