This entry, extracted from the Doddington parish baptism register 1753 - 1812, refers to Sarah Mills born 27th June 1805 and baptised 4th May 1806. She was the daughter of William Mills, who was a Day Labourer by profession and was a native of Bridget in Long-edlingham Parish. William's wife was recorded as Margaret Batey.
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 Doddington parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
