I could be totally wrong too, not really knowing the area, but I think there is only one Hebburn. It is in the County of Northumberland, but the Diocese of Durham (according to Wikipedia).

Just to add a bit more on Hebburn for patrexjax from what you have found on Wikipedia, Maddy.  This place I know is not too far from South Shields and Jarrow and is part of the South Shields registration district.  At one time the South Shields area was part of Durham but boundaries changed and it is now part of Tyne and Wear.  It still falls under the South Shields registration district.
I have added a link showing a metro train line where Hebburn lies in relation to South Shields and Jarrow.  It only takes about 15 minutes on the metro to get from Hebburn to South Shields.

I might add that it would be commonplace for ancestors to move from one side of the river to the other.  I know some of  my ancestors moved back and forth in this way between census and for marriages, etc.

I can't get to the exact link to show but if you go to 'Hidden Depths' on this site you will see quite a few mining 'Spoors' for which documentation is still held at the Durham Archives.  Might be worth a browse to see if any of your coal mining ancestors might be listed.  (My Great Grandfather has two letters relating to sickness - I was able to view these at the archives a long time ago.)
There were lots of coal mines on both sides of the river.

There were two places called Hebburn. At the relevant time both would have been in the Diocese of Durham.

One was in County Durham on the south bank of the River Tyne and part of the ancient parish of Jarrow (i.e. the one referred to by RTL).

The other in Northumberland also known as Hebron, lying just to the north of Morpeth.  https://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/NBL/Hebburn  This would have been in the Diocese of Durham until 1882, when the Diocese of Newcastle was created.

For the 1811 Whittingham baptism it notes James and Isabella lived at Great Ryle. "1st son, Father: Native of Fenrother, Mother: Native of this parish" and father's occupation - Hind.

The 1805 Whittingham baptism has James and Elizabeth lived at Eslington. "1st son, Father: Native of Hebburn, Mother: Native of this Parish" and father's occupation - labourer.

If it helps, Fenrother was in the Northumberland Hebburn.

Thanks River Tyne Lass and Jen, always good to learn something new from those who know.

These two links from Genuki should be a first port of call for place-names and parishes - well worth bookmarking

There is also an excellent place-name index for County Durham here, complete with links to location maps

From this you can see, for instance,  that the Hebburn in County Durham didn't become a parish in its own right until 1874.
