This entry, extracted from the Woodhorn parish baptism register 1749 - 1812, which includes Lynemouth, refers to Elizabeth Weedy born 6th June 1812 and baptised 25th December 1812. She was the daughter of Thomas Weedy of Lynemouth, who was a Husbandman by profession. Thomas's wife was recorded as Janes Thompson.
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 Woodhorn parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
