Ah, the wonderful Dade registers  :-* :-*  Baptism entries show parents, grandparents, occupations and abode. 

Amended:

And the burial records indicated name and status/occupation, date of death, date of burial, location of burial, age and "Distemper" (cause of death).
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!
If you don't ask the question, you won't get an answer.

Durham and Northumberland did have Dade registers from around 1798 to 1812. Shame not all counties followed suit. Also it is nice when you find a land document where the wife is said to be daughter and heir of someone, or even granddaughter or grandson of someone.

Pedantry alert  :D

Northumberland and Durham had Barrington registers, named for the then Bishop of Durham, Shute Barrington, to whom I offer my hearty thanks  :D
