This entry, extracted from the Lowick parish baptism register 1804 - 1812, refers to John Maclure born 2nd January 1808 and baptised 7th February 1808. He was the son of Thomas Maclure, who was a Weaver by profession. Thomas's wife was recorded as Jane.
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 Lowick parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
