Have not researched very much in the Sunderland area and need some help.
Have a baptism of Frances Ann Stevens
Holy Trinity, East End
Born 04/02/1905
Bap 29/03/1905 Frances Ann
Mother Annie STEPHENS
and a birth certificate 1905 of
Frances Ann Swinney, mother Annie Stevens father William Swinney...married Jun Q 1909.
I have all sorts of info from the paper and burial records for the Stevens/Coggins/Swinney family living or dying around 7 William Street. I am so sure all this ties in as my father in law is with the Coggins family 1939...Hannah Stevens married Thomas Coggins...and Annie's burial is as 6 William Street. Hannah was very good at putting announcements in the paper plus the Stevens and Swinney family live next door to each other 1901.
I can't find Frances 1911 but do have Annie and William. When Frances dies she is Stevens again. School register has a Frances Swinney born April 1904 7 William Street; I really need to know the details on the baptism and wondered if there was anywhere online I could access the information or if on a visit, the best place to view the records.

Baptisms this 'recent' are not yet in Durham Records Online or Free Reg
Durham Records Office - Durham, have these and you can see the microfilms if you visit
http://www.durhamrecordoffice.org.uk/media/16767/ParishRegisters/pdf/Handlist02ParishRegisters.pdf
Tyne and Wear Archives - Newcastle also have microfilms of these
https://twarchives.org.uk/collection/user-guides-and-information
(click through to parish registers )
If you aren't in the area then its usually possible to order and purchase a copy from the microfilm (check both sites for details). As you have the date and church details it should be a straight copy charge rather than a hefty 'research' fee
Others may know if they are also accessible elsewhere
