This entry, extracted from the Lowick parish baptism register 1804 - 1812, which included Bowsden, refers to John Wood born 2nd February 1810 and baptised 15th March 1810. He was the son of, Robert Wood who was a Husbandman by profession and was of Bowsden. Robert's wife was recorded as Ann.
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 Lowick parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
