This entry, extracted from the Chillingham parish baptism register 1768 - 1812, refers to Isabella Davidson born 7th February 1798 and baptised 18th March 1798. She was the daughter of John Davidson, who was a Labourer by profession and was a native of Ancroft. John's wife was recorded as Isabella Clark.
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 Chillingham parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
