This entry, extracted from the Warkworth parish baptism register 1798 - 1820, refers to Jane Neal born 8th August 1800 and baptised 10th May 1801. She was the daughter of Robert Neal, who was a Husbandman by profession. Robert's wife was recorded as Mary Manro.
When a person is baptised an entry is made in the baptism register. Of particular interest are the baptism registers for the period 1798-1812. These are known as Bishop Barrington registers. Shute Barrington, Bishop of Durham, ordered that additional information should be recorded in the registers, for example, details about the parents and sometimes grandparents of the child being baptised. The baptism registers of Warkworth parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
