Can anyone please help with any information on Mary Jane SHIELS
prior to her marriage to George Robert MASON.

I have a marriage certificate:
Date 14 August 1880
Register Office Sunderland, County Durham
Mary Jane Shiels Age 23 years Spinster
Residence 1 Wood Side Bishopwearmouth
Father - Henry Shiels (deceased) - Officer in HM Customs
and
George Robert MASON
Age 26 years Bachelor
Occupation - Upholsterer
Residence 24 Thomas Street Monkwearmouth
Father John MASON Grocer

The couple and their family are on census records in1881, 1891, 1901. Mary Jane MASON is on the 1911 census as a widow with her children.
Mary Jane MASON gives her place of birth as Peniwote? or Scotland. It is believed in my family that she came from Penicuik but I can find no record of her birth in Scotland.

Death Certificate for Mary Jane MASON 19 March 1913
Byker, Newcastle Upon Tyne age 56 years

Prior to her marriage I can find no record of her living with her family - father's name Henry Shiels on either the 1861 or 1871 census in either
Scotland or England. Maybe her father was already deceased.

There is a marriage record of a Henry Shiells, Excise Officer in the Parish of Dundee and Mary Hunton, Penicuik, in this Parish 3rd June 1852.

I have also found a record of a baptism on 29 January 1854.
Henry Shiells, Revenue Officer and his wife Mary Hunter in Fettercairn had a daughter born at Dundee 21 October 1953 and baptised at St Andrews Chapel Fasque 29 January 1854 named Margaret Eliza.

I haven't been able to find any record of this family on the 1861 or 1871 census in Scotland or England.

I have been unable to find any record of another daughter named Mary Jane Shiells. I have no way of connecting this Henry Shiells and his wife Mary Hunton (Hunter?) to my Mary Jane Shiels (also spelt Shields at a later date). Maybe not even mine?

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you.
