This entry, extracted from the St. John Lee parish baptism register 1752 - 1812, refers to Margaret baptised 27th May 1798. She was the daughter of John Adamson of Acomb.
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 St. John Lee parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
