This entry, extracted from the Earsdon parish baptism register 1813 - 1829, refers to Mary Lilly baptised 24th October 1818. She was the daughter of John and Martha Lilly of Seaton Sluice. John's profession was a Master Mariner.
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 Earsdon parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
