I have some ancestors associated with St Andrews in Newcastle (Newgate St) but could only find the odd marriage record on IGI. When I looked at Hugh Wallis' site
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hughwallis/ which sorts IGI records by parish, I note that although the marriage registers for 1500s to 1800s have been transcribed, the baptismal records have not. By searching on the GENUKI site, it would appear that these baptismal records are at Morpeth at the County Records Office.
What I would like to know (and I accept that I might not get a full answer to this series of questions) is whether anybody could confirm that the baptismal records are actually in Morpeth, whether there is any reason why they should not be accessed for research and lastly (and possibly most difficult) why they never got transcribed by LDS when so many other records were?
Any scraps of information gratefully received.
