Thank you I will try St Mary's. I know that later they went to St Joseph's in Blaydon, I did email them years ago but no reply.

I haven't been able to find any baptisms for her or children. As I live in New Zealand, I have no idea where to start.

That the problem, only ever said Ireland on any GB records, her children all had no father recorded, so would they have been baptisted, I think not. All her children were born in Dunston, County Durham. Thomas, James, Bridget and Roseanne.
I have wondered if her mother was a Bridget as with naming children after there parents.

Probably a needle in a haystack. Ann McGuire father Thomas born 1828/29 Ireland. That is all I have.She moved to UK and first shows up on 1861 census with the start of her children. She had 4 children, no father named before she married in 1872 to a William Johnston a widower. On the marriage cert it stated she was a spinster and her father was Thomas McGuire. I know she was a Catholic. So any suggestions would be helpful. My brickwall starts with her. I have all the info about her children, her death in UK

Have now found out about Hannah Love and Maria Felix (marriages and deaths) and death of John Felix.
Hannah's death image had no information about her at all apart from where she lived and died and what of. Maria's was a lot better, naming living children 2 out of 9. John Felix also didn't have much information no parents, no birth place and luckly all there children so that was a bonus.
Patrick Dundon Condon who died 11 days after his marriage also had no birthplace or age that I can find (didn't get his death image) but interesting that Hannah married Thomas Sands he died a few days before the family left for Australia in 1849, she married Patrick Cobdon 31 Dec 1849 a couple of months later, he died and she married John Felix on the 10 June 1850.
Amazing family so many deaths in such a short time, children dying in late teens and early adult hood, so now I will have to find John Felix and Patrick Condon arriving in Australia, I still think they may have been transported.

I was amazed it was so clear only one word I couldn't make out and that was the Baptist church looks like Particular.
I have been able to now look at UK census records and found Thomas Simpsons family and them going to Aus.
