Title: Birth lookup ARCHER in Nenthead
Post by: earthdancer on Wednesday 21 September 05 13:15 BST (UK)
This is a bit of a long shot given that I have very little information, but I wondered if anyone would be able to check the parish registers of Nenthead for a birth of Mary ARCHER in 1811?  Unfortunately I have no parent details
Thanks
Andie

Hi Andie

Nenthead parish was not formed until 1845 - prior to this it would probably have been Garrigill parish and possibly even Alston.

Roly Grigg has some parish registers on-line but they start at 1813 for baptisms:

The attached is a really good summary of chapels and churches in the area:

I have come across a Mary ARCHER born 9 Aug 1809 and baptised in 1810 at St. Augustine's, Alston. Her parents were Joshua ARCHER and Ann/Nancy (NATTRASS).
Hope this helps.

Nenthead was there long before 1845, so it is definately worth looking at the registers.

Hello Andie
I have two Mary Archers in my tree  the first one born 17/12/1806 Alston. Parents William Archer and Mary Watson or Walton.
Mary married George Swindle born 1803 in Ninebanks Northumberland. Parents of George are George Swindle and Susannah Vipond.
George and Mary married in Alston 07/05/1826.


The other Mary Archer I have was born 09/08/1809 bap June 1810 in Alston.  Parents are Joshua Archer and Ann(Nancy) Nattrass.  I do not as yet have a husband for Mary.
Best Wishes
Maria
