Census Information

Longframlington St. Mary's Baptism Register - Click for bigger imageThis entry, extracted from the Longframlington parish baptism register 1723 - 1812, refers to George, baptised 4th September 1746, son to James Railstone in Lowframlington. 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 Longframlington parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
