Bap record guidance Jarrow and Heworth
« on: Monday 30 April 18 06:54 BST (UK) »
Hi there
Could someone explain the following please? I'm unsure about actually where the bap took place. Was it Jarrow or Heworth as they are not the same place as far as Google maps has them

Baptisms, South Shields District - Record Number: 646422.0
Location: Jarrow
Church: St. Paul
Denomination: Anglican
16 Jul 1780 Margaret Anderson, daughter of Thomas Anderson, baptized at Heworth

Many thanks
Meegan

Heworth the town is in the parish of Jarrow.
I am Australian, from all the lands I come (my ancestors, at least!)

From GenUKI:

"Heworth was separated from Jarrow and made a distinct parish in 1834, and at that time comprised the whole of the township of the same name."

So, in 1780, Heworth was in the parish of Jarrow.

St Mary, Heworth, was founded in 1822.
St Alban, Windy Nook, was founded in 1843.


Prior to the new church being built St Mary was previously referred to as "the chapel of Heworth".
It was probably founded in 684.

The whole Heworth/Jarrow parish record is kind of confusing and some of the record entries don't tell you which one was which.  I think after Heworth became a parish itself someone may have gleaned all the Heworth records out and recorded them.  I am not sure how far back they went.  I wouldn't have noticed this except I have 6 family members that died in the Felling mining accident of 1812.  The Jarrow record was pretty spotty on the burials - almost in the Barrington era style but not quite.  I discovered records in the Heworth film that had all those miners buried at Heworth and there was more complete information.  Probably recording some 90 plus folks being buried in a few days of each other probably became difficult--metal nibs on pens really didn't take off until the 1820's.

Thanks for that background information, Janis. My  ancestors were miners too

Cheers

St Pauls Church is in Jarrow, about 5 miles from Heworth. It is located next to the world Heritage site bedes World.

Named after the venerable bede who was based at St Pauls Monastry/church for a while he went on to wirte the lindisfarne gospels one of the most famous anglo-saxon books in the world.
