Durham County Record Office Lookup Please

[michelledennis]

Hello, Im emailing from Australia in the hope someone could look up the parish of Pittington Durham records held at the Durham County Record Office for me please.
Catalogue Entry - Durham Record Office
Ref: EP/Pi 23, 24
St Lawrence Pittington -Vestry minutes, rate assessments, churchwardens' accounts, etc., 1838 - 1922, (2 volumes) - [Acc: 556]

I am looking for information on the birth of the illegitimate child of Jane (Jenny) LUKE. John Luke was born in Hallgarth/Pittington in July 1850, and then possibly placed in the Elvet Durham Workhouse. I am hoping that there may be record of Jane/Jenny Luke in the vestry minutes or churchwardens accounts. Jane/Jenny LUKE may have also had another illegitmate child George Luke in 1846. Perhaps these records also include bastardy examinations or settlement papers?

Any information would be greatly received.

Thanks

Thanks Janis - really appreciate you having a look for me. Would the indexes just be for Pittington, or would they cover other areas as well? cheers, Michelle
