Baptism - Walmsley

[Singum]

Hello All,

I hope someone can be of assistance, I've just discovered that my Gt G-dad was born in Chirton, in the county of Northumberland. Unfortunately I'm unsure where to look for his baptism.

I have got his birth certificate which states;

James Hamer Walmsley, b21 July 1874 at Prudhoe Street, Chirton, Father Lawrence Walmsley, Mother Sally Walmsley, Occupation of Father School Master, Birth registered 29 August 1874.

if anyone could give me any clues as to which church or churches he may have been baptized at I'd appreciate it.

Many Thanks

Nigel

Nigel,

There is some information about Tynemouth Churches here
http://www.genuki.bpears.org.uk/NBL/Tynemouth/ChurchHistory.html
And also about Non-conformist churches http://www.genuki.bpears.org.uk/NBL/Tynemouth/tynnconf.html

What information do you hope to gain from the baptism record?

 If Nigel has the civil birth certificate, then Sally's maiden name should be recorded on it .

Of course you are right Michael   and I took his posting the wrong way
After reading his website realise he is just looking for place of baptism

I shouldnt post late at night

Back to the Baptism;
Possibly baptised at local Church.

St John the Baptist, Chirton
