This entry, extracted from the Warkworth parish baptism register 1798 - 1820, refers to Thomas Young born 23rd May 1805 and baptised 4th August 1805. He was the son of John Young, who was a Husbandman by profession. John's wife was recorded as Elizabeth Bell.
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 Warkworth parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
