Pre 1837 Northumberland Parish Records
« on: Sunday 24 June 18 20:23 BST (UK) »
Does anyone know where I can view pre 1837 parish records?

Im looking for the baptism record for Matthew Morroley b.1717 in Hexham. I tried IGI & FS but no joy...?



Thanks

You could try visiting a Family History Centre if there is one near you, see list

https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Category:England_Family_History_Centres

They have computer access to many more films / parishes than are available on the public familysearch site.

or you could try the NDFHS who sell a number of transcripts

James Stott c1775-1850. James was born in Yorkshire but where? He was a stonemason and married Elizabeth Archer (nee Nicholson) in 1794 at Ripon. They lived thereafter in Masham. If anyone has any suggestions or leads as to his birthplace I would be interested to know. I have searched for it for years without success. Thank you.

What led you to looking for Matthew in Hexham in 1717?

A quick look at the register for Hexham today shows that the name (with various spellings) does appear in the records but there is nothing for baptisms in 1717 or thereabouts.
