This entry, extracted from the Warden parish baptism register 1763 - 1812, refers to Robert Charleton born 9th September 1806 and baptised 11th January 1807. He was the son of George Charleton, who was a Labourer by profession and was a native of Fourstones. George's wife was recorded as Mary Turnbull.
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 Warden parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
