This entry, extracted from the Beadnell parish baptism register 1766 - 1812, refers to John Hall born 1st February 1800 and baptised 23rd February 1800. He was the son of John Hall, who was a Labourer by profession and was a native of Ulgham. John's wife was recorded as Ann Simpson.
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 Beadnell parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
