This entry, extracted from the Allendale St. Cuthbert's parish baptism register 1785 - 1812, refers to Phillis Milburn born 18th February 1800 and baptised 11th August 1800. She was the daughter of William Milburn, who was a Blacksmith by profession and was of Allendale Town. His wife was recorded as Mary daughter of William Wilson
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 Allendale parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
