The Tyne & Wear Archives which shares Blandford House with the Discovery Museum, is Tyne & Wear's equivalent of a County Record Office.
T&W Archives has accessible film for just about every church in the area, from beginning to modern-ish times, including All Saint's .
Rosemary's link will reveal the A-Z of T&W Archives... including opening times, that to be sure of getting a filmreader it is necessary to book, and the appropriate user guides.. e.g. what church records are available for what period.
Did you think that a place the size of Newcastle could do without a central library because of "redevelopment" ?
The Centraql library was closed/demolished ? over a year ago... but all the facilities that were available there, were resited to other venues...
For e.g. The Local and Family History Section was temporarily relocated to the Civic Centre complex ( fairly near to Haymarket Metro station) in the basement.
Here there are available transcriptions and abbreviated indexes of many church records.. including All Saints. But these mainly cover periods before 1837, and are available in book form and/or microfiche. Booking not necessary.
The Northumberland County Record Office, now situated at Woodhorn near Ashington, holds most Newcastle parishes records ( although Newcastle is no longer in Northumberland) Booking necessay to get filmreader.
Did you notice within the GenUKI web site that within each individual parish, under " Church Records", there is a list of all churches, including " non-conformists", and where these records are held. The All Saint's page, also mentions that Gateshead Library holds some records.
Books....
You might need to buy ten books to get idea of social history of Newcastle.. plus another load for Sunderland...
Newcastle Library... in the Civic Centre ( as is the Newcastle Register Office) has such books to sell.... The Sunderland Tourist Centre, Fawcett St, Sunderland ditto.
Save money and shoe leather and find out about the areas, by browsing the internet. !
Another good source are Trade Directories, which contain history, church, industry, and times of high tide, etc on all areas.
