Bedlington St. Cuthbert's Baptism Register - Click for bigger imageThis entry, extracted from the Bedlington parish baptism register 1779 - 1812, which included Nedderton, refers to Alice Collingwood of Netherton Grange. She was born 20th April 1810 and baptised 1st January 1811. She was the daughter of Ralph Collingwood, who was a Farmer by profession and was a native of Bedlington parish. Ralph's wife was recorded as Elizabeth Rogers. 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 Bedlington parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
