This entry, extracted from the Falstone parish baptism register 1803 - 1812, refers to John Angelo Dunglinson born 23rd August 1806 and baptised 31st August 1806. He was the son of The Reverend John Dunglinson, who was the Curate of Falstone parish. John's wife was recorded as Nancy, who's name before she was married was Wales.
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 Falstone parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
