This entry, extracted from the Widdrington parish baptism register 1698 - 1797, refers to Jane, baptised 11th April 1698 the daughter of William Taylor of Widdrington.
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 Widdrington parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
