This entry, extracted from the Bothal parish baptism register 1680 - 1724, which includes Pegswood, refers to Ann, baptised 10th April 1693. She was the daughter of James Smith of Pegsworth.
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 Bothal parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
