Thank you for the info.  The link in the previous response lists The Parish Church - Christ Church as Church of England.  On the marriage cert. that I have it says - The established church.  Would the established church be C of E or Catholic?

C of E is the established church. I understand that there was no consecrated RC building in Tynemouth for three hundred years from 1539.
Christ Church was/is in North Shields, Holy Saviour's Tynemouth was opened in 1841 apprently as a chapel of ease to Christ Church, and became the parish church of Tynemouth priory in 1861 when the parish was split.

The Church of St Cuthbert was opened in 1821 in North Shields, to serve the Catholics of North Shields, Willington Quay, South Shields and Jarrow ( rowing boats is the answer to that question ! )

Prior to this Catholics had used St Andrew's church in Worswick St, Newcastle.

At that time Catholics were not using the term "parish"

And any marriage after 1837, in a Catholic church, had to have the Registrar in attendance. The clergyman who conducted a marriage ceremony in the "established church" (C of E ) acted as a "locum" registrar.
