That's the same tree I found on FindMyPast.
I still can't find John Byers.
Will have another look tonight when I get home as no time at the moment.

Just found my 3x great-grandmother.  Not knowing England's smaller places, can anyone tell me where her parents came from? Is this the same as Mary's baptism on page 1
Many thanks
Carol

I'm on shaky ground here, but despite what it says on that entry, I don't think there was any such parish as Hedley, Northumberland. Hedley refers to the modern Hedley on the Hill. Although it is south of the Tyne, it was part of the historic county of Northumberland and was in the parish of Ovingham (see below). So putting all of that together, yes, I think the two baptisms match.

At that time anyone from Hedley who visited the church in Ovingham (on the north bank of the river) would have travelled 4 miles to Prudhoe and taken the ferry across the river. The bridge there wasn't built until the 1880s. There is also a ford marked on old maps.

OVINGHAM is a parish comprising the townships of Dukeshagg. Eltringham, Harlow-hill, Hedley, Hedley-Woodside, Horsley, Mickley, Nafferton, Ovingham, Ovington, Prudhoe, Prudhoe Castle, Rouchester, Spittle, Welton, Whittle, and Wylam. It is bounded by the parishes of Stamfordham, Heddon-on-the-Wall and Bywell St. Andrew and St. Peter, except on the south-east, where it is separated from the County of Durham by the Stanley and Milkhouse Burn. It is about seven miles in length by five in breadth, and comprises an area of 15,740 acres. Its population in 1801, was 2,628; in 1811, 2,810; in 1821, 2,742; in 1831, 3,019; in 1841, 3,418; and in 1851, 3,962 souls. The parish is interesected by the river Tyne, and is beautifully diversified by gentle elevations.

Aerial view of Ovington Bridge, with Prudhoe to the south east and Ovington to the north west. The church is in the top right left corner. The ferry followed approximately the line of the bridge, the ford was slightly upstream. It is still marked on the 1897 map even though the bridge was in operation by then:

Thanks for your help AlanBoyd. I can get an idea of the places.
Where would I find Ovington Parish Registers?

I have emailed St Cuthberts Darlington, maybe they can help with my family.
