Stanley Primitive Methodist Circuit baptisms 1923-1937
2,316 baptisms on the Stanley Primitive Methodist Circuit in Lanchester district from July 1923 to mid-March 1937.
Many towns did not have Methodist churches, so the Primitive Methodist preacher rode around his local circuit, baptizing children as he went, sometimes in chapels, sometimes in homes. The registers are not kept in strictly chronological order. This set includes these books:
Book 10: 1924-1928
Book 11: 1928-1931
Book 12: 1933-1937
Book 17: 1923-1930
Book 18: 1930-1936
Circuits often covered a fairly large geographical area. In this data set, residences mentioned include Annfield Plain, Beamish, Blackhouse, Burnhope, Catchgate, Co-operative Villas, Craghead, East Stanley, Edmondsley, Grange Villa, Greencroft, High Hold, Holmside, New Kyo, Oxhill, Pelton, Pelton Lane Ends, Shield Row, South Moor, South Pontop, Stanley, Tanfield Lea, Tantobie, Twizell, and West Pelton.

Earsdon burials 1837-1844 enhanced with more information
A few months ago, we discovered that the Earsdon parish register contained far more information than the Bishop's Transcript did for baptisms and burials, starting in 1837, and in March we updated our Earsdon baptisms accordingly with the new information. We have now updated our existing 1,581 burials covering 1837-1844 at Earsdon St. Alban (and its subsidiary chapel at Blyth) in Tynemouth district. Generally, the following information was added:
for a child: the name and occupation of the father, the name and maiden surname of the mother, the death date
for a married woman: her maiden surname, husband's name and occupation, her death date
for an adult male: his occupation and death date
Sometimes the cause of death was listed if it was unusual or dramatic, such as drowning. We also corrected several minor spelling errors in names or place names.
