This entry, extracted from the Embleton parish baptism register 1765 - 1812, refers to Ann Wood born 3rd March 1808 and baptised 3rd April 1808. She was the daughter of Thomas Wood and Isabel Wardale of Embleton.
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 Embleton parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
