This date is way too early for a civil 'certificate' of birth. The only record at that time would be the Parish Baptism Register

If you sign into Family Search (account is free) and choose to search the catalogue, then put 91100 into the film/fiche number search, you'll see that this record is from the Bishop's Transcript for Long Newton Parish.

FS do have digital images of this register, but they are only viewable if you visit an LDS  family history centre.
https://www.familysearch.org/locations/

The records for this parish don't yet seem to be in Free Reg.

Durham Records Online (pay per view, you'd need to purchase credits to see the full entry) have this baptism in their database, they are transcriptions not images but they do transcribe the record in full so all the info available will be in the transcription.

Durham Record Office (Durham Archives) have the original registers. If you live in the area you can visit and see the images on microfilm  or they do a quick search service where they will provide an image by email (costs £5) of the entry in the parish register. The entry may or may not give any further information - it varies.

Thanks again for your help. I ordered a copy of the baptism records from durham records online and i recieved the follwing :

Baptisms, Stockton District
Record Number: 690873.0
Location: Long Newton
Church: St. Mary
Denomination: Anglican
13 Aug 1786 Robert Ferguson, born 21-Jun 1786, son of John Ferguson (farmer) & Margaret (his wife)

It would have been nice to find out where John Ferguson would have been from? or Margarets surname, or some more help on information. Do you think this was all the information that was provided on the record at the time?
Thanks again for your time and help its much appreciated

Have you a copy of the actual entry for Robert’s baptism and his marriage? If not I would get these as there may be additional information not given on a transcript.

Hi, thanks for the message.
I have managed to find the attached. They are indexes rather than certificates so dont have much more information on them. Would i be able to purchase a certificate from this information? Or is it too old to do this?
Many thanks again for your messages and help.

Family History Beginners Board / Help needed. Stuck on which path to follow??
« on: Tuesday 03 December 19 15:45 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

Sorry to bother everyone but I am stuck on my family tree and unsure which path to follow?
My predicament starts with ROBERT FERGUSON born 1786 in Longnewton who was married to Ann Dryden.
The help I need is who his correct father is? He is in tons family trees on ancestry and there are differing accounts of his father.
The most common path from most on ancestry is that his parents where John Ferguson 1749 (no proof or records) born in Egglescliffe and his mother was Margaret Hutton from Egglescliffe. Howver there is no records or proof of this. I have found a birth index which states his  parents where John Ferguson and Margaret but thats were i run dry. Someone once informed me his father was john ferguson from stokesley 1759 and i based my investigations from him for years however i am not sure anymore as once again there is no proof i can find of this. Alot of others have made real progress and gone back quite far on from this Robert Ferguson from Longnewton 1786 but i want to make sure i have it correct and not just follow others without any proof or records etc.
       I was wondering if somebody could help me out on which path is correct or if I could find out anything more myself from somewhere ie records etc? Any tips or advice? Or possibly someone knows for definate who his father was who is reading this from there own tree etc
If anyone could be of a help that would be much appreciated as ive been stuck here for years
Thankyou

Thanks Lyn! and David.

That was a great help. I think I may have found where his father might have been born? There was a John Ferguson born in Leake in 1734 which is a close distance to Stokesley and puts him at the right sort of age? However I just don't want to be barking up the wrong tree that's all?

Family History Beginners Board / Ferguson- 1759 Stokesley N Yorkshire??
« on: Sunday 12 July 15 16:38 BST (UK)  »
Could anybody help or have a info?. I have traced back my ancestry to John Ferguson born 1759 Stokesley. He also married Margaret Hutton and the family moved to Longnewton later.
I cannot find anything after him on the Ferguson line? On his birth index it states his father was also called John Ferguson but no other info is available?
I have taken ancestry DNA tests and my YDNA is of Irish/ Scottish R1B-M222. I am undergoing another deeper test at the moment as it is believed I may have matches in the Scottish Highlands who DNA matches mine, and their last known ancestor was a Jacobite who fought at culloden.
It would be very interesting for me to find out how or why my ancestors ended up as agricultural labourers in north Yorkshire if they did come from the highlands? I have researched that in 1715 there was a jacobite rebellion and many soldiers where imprisoned in York castle nearby and most where let go. Could it be possible that they stayed in the area rather than go back home to Scotland? It seems unlikely but its all I can make sense of?
Any help would be great? I am very new to all this but have made lot of progress in a short period however it all ends here?
Thanks
