I am trying to find the birth details of George Tindle, sometimes Tindal who was married in Earsdon to Sarah Hogg in 1797. They had a son Thomas in 1798.
I believe George had family in South Shields so it may be that he was born in Durham but I can't find a birth anywhere. I would like to rule out Northumberland before I widen my search.
I have tried the larde sites and Durham Records online.
Can anyone suggest anything else. Thanks.

Have you ruled this one out?

Disregard my last, it looks as though he died the same year. He also had a brother, also George, born 1773 who died 1774, so ignore him as well.
There is a burial in Earsdon for a George Tindle 13 August 1815, aged 53 so a yob of c1762.

Thankyou. I will check this out.

Had a look for you, and came up with a possible for George's family.
As emeltom has already mentioned, there is a burial for George which gives an estimated birth year of 1762. There is also perhaps another clue in the name of his first son, Thomas, which - if he followed traditional naming conventions - suggests that his father may also be Thomas.
George married in Earsdon, and is described as 'of this parish', so I had a look for other Tindles in this area around the time of George's estimated birth year. There is a Thomas Tindle baptising children at exactly the right time in Earsdon. He had lots of children there. I cannot see a George, but I cannot see an image of the parish register; I am having to rely exclusively on transcriptions.
I have searched on all the main genealogy sites - both free and subscription - and cannot find images of the Earsdon parish registers. To confirm my hunch that George is a son of this Thomas, I think you will really need to see the register itself. Firstly, to view the witnesses at George's wedding to Sarah, as that could give you the name of a sibling. Secondly, to see if there is a gap or damage to the register around the year 1762; if there is, this is good evidence that George could be within that illegible/missing portion.
Queenie :)

Thank you so much. When Thomas born 1798 married Elizabeth in Jarrow in 1829 the register shows the witnesses as Thomas Sheldon and Elizabeth Dodds. Sadly as I move through the registers this couple appear to witness virtually every marriage in the parish. The vicar obviously did not bother with witnesses and just out down these two name. No help with family names there.
I have a strange copy of the marrieage entry of George and Sarah but it just seems to be a piece torn from something else. No witnesses named.
You have encouraged me to keep on looking. I think we ae in the right place.

The Earsdon Parish Registers with original page images are freely available on Family Search under Bishops Transcripts and cover the years 1762 to 1844.

Thank -you, she was indeed the daughter of George and Sarah but did not survive into adulthood. The only dughter who did is Margaret and she didn't marry do no info there. I will keep looking.

Its common to find 'habitual' witnesses in OPRs. They were often a parish clerk/churchwarden or some occupation connected to the church and, as such, were available - whereas family members/friends may not have been.

Thanks. Weddings were obviously very different then to todays extravaganzas.

I scanned for ages looking through Earsdon Bishops transcripts and found no clues, went on ancestry and they popped up as non conformist baptisms of the children, have you any idea where these took place
-
Margaret was baptised in 1800 in Hartley. The only non conformist church I can find there is Presbyterian. Jane who was born in 1804 and died in 1811 is just recorded and Non Conformist. Earsdon itself had a Methodist church and Seaton Sluice does not appear.
Thanks for taking this trouble.
