I wonder if anybody could look a Penshaw Baptisms for me please. The name is Thomas William Moore and the year of his birth varies between 1872 and 1873. His father's name was Thomas (according to marriage certificate).

You have tagged your question onto a very old thread, so I have asked a moderator to split it from the original thread in the hope that you get more responses.
Is it a baptism or birth record you are looking for?

Thank you for responding. I could not find how to make a new thread. A baptism record. On the 1881 census he is shown as coming from Penshaw age 8. Parents - no father present. Mother is Ann moore. Other children are Jane E, Edward W B (from Houghton), Joseph R and Annnie T. 1891, the mother is shown as Ann Smith, she must have remarried. Thomas is 18 and from Penshaw, Annie age 10 is there.
The 1871 census shows a Thomas Moore 32 from Durham and he is a stoker on a steamship. Ann wife is 24 and daughter Jane is 9 months. I think I have the right family.
I acquired Thomas William Moore's marriage certificate for his marriage to Charlotte Wickens Thompson and his father was shown as Thomas Moore (Deceased) Engineer (Sea Faring).

Penshaw was in Houghton le Spring Registration District. So his birth registration must be this one: Thomas William Moore, 3rd q. 1872 Houghton le Spring, 10a, 489.
It's possible someone has got access to Penshaw baptisms (assuming that he was baptised :-\ ) otherwise you'd have to hope that someone is going to Durham Record Office or Tyne & Wear Archives, but many of us go now :(
What information are you hoping to get from a possible baptism that you can't get from his birth certificate?

Go to the relevant board (i.e. in this case Durham Look-ups) http://www.rootschat.com/forum/durham-lookup-requests/ and click on New Topic :)
You can also access the Durham Board from the England section of the main forum board http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php
It's not as complicated as it sounds - you will pretty soon find your way around :D

Hi Chelsea,
If you look at the top of your screen where the RootsChat picture is, below this is a brown stripe with your navigation button on - to the right of middle you will see one called "my messages" the blue new topic button will appear just below that (depending on how wide your screen is)
