Hi all,
Can anyone help me find a birth/baptism of Barbara Parker born about 1842. I have her on some census records but her place of birth varies from Bellingham on one and Wark on others.
I do know that she was the daughter of George Parker and Barbara Bell and that she married Matthew Barron.
I just cannot find a birth registration. Her older sibling by two yearsGeorge is registered and I have found him in Simonburn baptised 20th June 1840, I have also found a sister, Dorothy baptised in March 1846.
I think I have found that George Parker was born on 16th Jan 1808 son of John Parker and Margery Dove. I have not been able to find Barbara Bell at all. Some census say she was born in Haltwhistle and others that she was born in Knaresdale. I think it would have been around 1811?
Any help on this part of my tree would be great
:)

This is possibly what you are looking at. Barbara is a name clerks seem to have had trouble spelling back then. On the original it looks like Barber - at least to me
Births Jun 1842
Parker Barker Bellingham 25 243

Oh thank you so much! That may be the one! I will order the certificate. If you have any joy on her parents that would be great.
Kind regards

The IGI
http://www.familysearch.org/eng
has a Barbara Bell born 1810 Haltwhistle the daughter of William Bell and Sarah Teasdale
which may be worth investigating (the pages on the familysearch pilot site
http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#start
are down at the moment - when they are back up it may be worth searching to see if they have a copy of the actual baptism image)

I had looked at pilotfamilysearch for her in Haltwhistle and not found it! I have tried to look again but as you said the site is down at the moment.
That has been a great help!
I have some great new leads now.

You need to look here http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#w=0&p=waypoint&s=waypointsOnly&c=fs%3A1309819
Select Northumberland, then Haltwhistle 1758 - 1850, enter 253 in the box marked image and press the enter key on your keyboard.
It is a Shute Barrington entry, so there are some useful details there for you.

If you are a member of ancestry there are a few trees on there with Barbara and\or George on them that may be worth a look.
If you are not a member it may be worth checking to see if your library is as some have a subscriptiom to ancestry.

Hi all,
Thank you JenB, I have had a look and that is so great! Have been stuck at a standstill for a while and just got back into it again, now I am up all night again!!
Davidft, Thanks again for your help. I am a member and I have started to build my tree up and that alone has given me a lot more hits! My tree has doubled in size thanks to your efforts.
Kindest regards
