This entry, extracted from the Falstone parish baptism register 1813 - 1959, which included Kielder, refers to Sarah Lucas baptised 21st December 1851. She was the daughter of Richard and Ursula of Kielder Castle. Richard's profession was Game-keeper.
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 Falstone parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
