Does anyone have any idea of how the parishes of Newcastle connect to each other?  I have a family of Embleton's that I'm trying to trace the early baptisms of around Newcastle.

I have:
Henry Embleton bn c1803 in Morpeth (according to census data) who married Mable Lumsdon of Warkworth (bn 1809) at St Johns in Newcastle 1 May 1831. 

From 1842 their children are all baptised at St Andrew, but there are three earlier children that I'm trying to trace the baptisms for.  They weren't baptised at St Andrew and I'm looking at St John again in case I missed them.... but what other parishes should I look at?  I can see on Family Search that there are a number of Newcastle parishes but I don't know where they are within the city in relation to St Andrew and St John.

The poeple I'd like to find baptism records for are:

John Embleton c1833
George Embleton c1836
Elizabeth Embleton c1838

On the census when they're still at home their birthplace is listed as Newcastle.

Thanks

Marjery daughter of Timothy Duxfield,
burial St Albans Earsdon,
10th April 1769 ,
of West Newsham

Margaret daughter of Timothy Duxfield and Jane ,father a farmer of Newsham ,baptised June 29th
1777,

Andrew son of Andrew and Eleanor Bewick,labourer
buried St Albans 22nd September 1776
Andrew son of Andrew and Eleanor Bewick of baptism,22nd of March 1778,of Burrowton

The two Andrew's of Andrew and Eleanor Bewick are definitely mine and I can confirm the baptism and death info provided.


Mary Bewick married Timothy Duxfield in Earsdon on 24 Nov 1767.  They had two children that I know of both in Earsdon, George bap 30 Oct 1768 and Jane bap 22 July 1770 (of The Waggonway House in the BT).

The Duxfield family look quite established in this Parish looking at the IGI batches and the BT's too, there are a number of other births to male Duxfields.  There is a Marjery Duxfield, dau of Timothy of West Newsham, being burried on 10 April 1764 in Earsdon according to the BT. I can't find your reference to the one buried on the same day in 1769 though.

The marriage of Timothy Duxfield and Elizabeth Maughlin took place in Earsdon on 20 June 1776, they had children baptised in Earsdon, one of which they named Margery.  I don't know if this is the same Timothy who had married Mary Bewick or buried the other Marjery Duxfield in 1764, but I haven't come across a death for Mary in the BT's yet.

One other thing I did find was the burial of a Jane Bewick, wife of Anthony of Backwith, buried 25 April 1771, hopefully this is the wife of my earliest Andrew Bewick bn c1720.

Thanks everyone for checking the records for me.  I always forget about FreeReg, should have checked that myself.  I looked through all the Lanchester Henderson baptisms for that period and there seem to be three distinct lines, two of them have weaver for the father's occupation so I wonder if they're a family group.  The Scottish connection is interesting as my Ann Henderson married a Scotsman, as did their daughter, I thought it was a coincidence but perhaps not.

Cheers

Thanks for all that extra info.  I'll see if I can find anything on the marriage in Coton but it does look promising!

Carole - I had my wires crossed!  Rebecca Butler died 16 August 1869, not 1871!    She definitely won't be in the 1871 census!  Witnesses to her marriage were William Butler and William Stevens.
