Thomas wind/winn&toward
Hi Nigel. Andrew is correct. The trees you are looking at especially Ancestry are incorrect and join two Wind lineages. They assume William Wind born 1731 is the only William Wind and this is incorrect. Please look at Wikitree as it is currently the only lineage that is closest to reality as far as we can be sure as these are confirmed sources. Note that there were two Thomas's to father Thomas, one died early born 1870 died 1871, the 1875 is the correct one.  Look carefully at Andrews answer and check the Wikitree profile.The Waldridge Thomas is correct. I understand it's confusing, but it is slowly resolving.

Thomas Winn and Barbara Rae were married in the second quarter of 1905 in Chester-le-Street district. Here are links to the index records:

You can use the reference there to order their marriage certificate from the GRO which will tell you their fathers' names.

In 1911 they are living at Waldridge, Thomas age 36 born Waldridge, Barbara age 28 born South Shields. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XWH1-BKB

He could be:

Chester-le-Street is the correct district for Waldridge, making that the more likely one.
From the index at DurhamRecordsOnline, a Thomas Wind of Waldridge Fell was baptized in 1876 in Chester-le-Street District, and a Thomas Winn of Frankland was baptized in 1876 in Durham District.
In the 1901 census a Thomas Winn (25, born Waldridge) is living in Waldridge with parents Thomas (58) and Hannah (56). No other Thomas Winn/Wind of about the right age is in the Registration District.
Thomas Winn and Hannah Toward occur on the same page of marriages in 1864 according to FreeBMD.

In the 1901 census a Thomas Winn (24 born Brasside) is living at Whitwell. Brasside and Frankland are almost the same place - today Frankland Prison is at Brasside.

In the 1911 Census he is still at Whitwell (35 born Brasside) and married to Hannah.

We can therefore eliminate the Frankland/Brasside Thomas as yours and the only possibility is the Waldridge one. This needs to be confirmed with the marriage certificate.
