Durham Records Online update

From Durham Records Online (www.durhamrecordsonline.com):

South Shields St. Hilda baptisms 1842-1867

11,070 baptisms at South Shields St. Hilda, from 1 July 1842 (where our last release left off) to the end of 1867, from a combination of the Bishop's Transcript and the parish register.


Whitley Chapel (Hexham) baptisms & burials 1843-1874

637 baptisms and 541 burials covering 1843-1874 at Whitley Chapel (St. Helen) near Hexham in Hexham district, Northumberland, from the Bishop's Transcript. Whitley Chapel was originally a chapelry in the ancient parish of Hexham, but it became a separate parish in 1763, with its church dedicated to St. Helen. This parish is adjacent to the Durham parish of Hunstanworth, so families moved back and forth between the two places quite often.
