Norham St. Cuthbert's Baptism Register - Click for bigger imageThis entry, extracted from the Norham parish general register 1653 - 1715, which includes Duddo, refers to Robert the son of John Collingwood of Duddoe. Robert was baptised 17 July 1705. 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 Norham parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
