I am looking for baptismal records for the following individuals, the
surname is Leith:
James – b. 8/11/1874, baptised Feb. 18, 1875
Nathaniel – b. 1/8/1876, baptised Aug. 9, 1876
Margaret – b. 20/11/1877, baptised Dec. 27, 1877
Joseph – b. 22/2/1880, baptised Mar. 25, 1880
They were each born in Morpeth, Northumberland and I believe were baptized in a Methodist Church. Unfortunately I do not have a church name.
The father was named James Leith and the mother was named Sarah Jane
(maiden name McKechnie, has been spelled various ways) Leith. James
had a brother named Hutchison Leith (wife Elizabeth maiden name
Irvine) and they were both coal miners at I believe the Ashington
Colliery, since according to an 1881 census record both families lived
in the 2nd row of Ashington Colliery.
Thank you!!

Is this easy to obtain so I may see a scan of the original or at least a transcription?
Thank you!

No scans available on the resource I looked for Nathaniel & Margaret's baptism I am afraid.
Records for the Wesleyan churches in Morpeth are held at Northumberland Archives Service - website here : - www.northumberland.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=1665
