Has anyone any ideas about finding records of the births/baptisms of the children of Allen and Mary WEST of, in 1871, Byker Bank, Newcastle.- children are John b.appx 1875,Barbara b.1877, Allen b.1879, Catherine b.1881and Joseph born sometime later, either in UK or Ireland.All siblings are b. Newcastle.
Seems to be no trace of births in BMD's despite Allen and Mary's mge. being registered.
Mother Mary was nee Mcdonough and b. Galway Ireland.
Father Allen b. N/C and d.1884.
A real mystery!

Thanks for info- could anyone tell me at which churches in Byker the children might have been baptised and if the parish records are available anywhere?The parents Allen West + Mary McDonough were m.1874 in "the district chapel in the chapelery of St Annes, N/C." - it seems odd that the children were not baptised given that the parents were "properly" wed. Mary was from Ireland so maybe catholic.Allen was a real Tynesider, from a long line of watermen/keelers.

Bykerlads,
Allen West and Mary McDonough married as you say in 1874 Byker St Ann's
(Church of England)
A Catholic Church, St Dominic's was nearbye. (operational from early 1870s)
Allen West died 1884, aged 32.
Mary West nee Mcdonough married Alexander Fenwick in 1890 at St Michael's with St Lawrence ( Church of England)
As well as St Dominic's Catholics used St Andrew's ( from late 1700s) and St Mary's ( now Cathedral) from 1840s.
But if they knew they had a duty to civily register the births of their children, as they did with John in 1875, one would have though they would have done it with all of them. 
Allen junior died aged 4 yrs 1883. Barbara died 1890 aged 13 yrs. ??

Thanks to all for info. I had got the deaths but had not "clocked" Mary's re-marriage- I can now proceed, but the registration of the births of the children remains a mystery.

And 1875-born John West on C1891 with Grannie Mc Donough and Aunty Kath, Uncle Stephen in 28 Quality Row ( page ref 4213-17-12).
Then maybe on C1901 at 27 Conyers (4790-7-6) with mother Mary, step dad Alexander Fluker and step siblings.
