This entry, extracted from the Carham parish baptism register 1748 - 1812, refers to John Ternent baptised 30th September 1810. He was the son of Thomas and Margaret Ternent of Wark. Thomas's profession was recorded as a Gardener.
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 Carham parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
