Northumberland / Re: Belford Presbyterian records online?
« on: Friday 06 June 25 18:23 BST (UK)  »
Val, thank you so much! There are a ton of Johnsons in and around Belford even in the 1700s, so I doubt I could back further than these people, but I would love to at least get some complete info about them. Any thoughts are appreciated.

The parents are:

John Johnson
abt. 1774 – 27 Apr 1853

Margaret Gradon
abt. 1777 – 1851


They got married in Doddington on 23 November 1797.

They lived at Newlands (just South of Belford) until at least 1820, and then at Easington Grange.

The children are as follows, deaths are correct (all buried at Belford St Mary) and births are approximate.

Working on the assumption they were Presbyterian as following generations were - Adam 1814–1889 got married at Lamberton Toll, his son at the English Presbyterian Church in Berwick.


Jane Johnson
1799–1808

John Johnson
1799–1807

Adam Johnson
1807–1808

John Johnson
1808–1843

David Johnson
1811–1812

David Johnson
1812–1882

Adam Johnson
1814–1889

Henry Johnson
1819–1820

James Johnson
1821–?

I'm a bit late to the party, but I've got access to Belford Erskine Street baptisms where there are 200 or so entries between 1793 and 1820, none of which are Johnson, or similar.

Sorry it's a negative answer.

These records are on the NDFHS website. I can fully recommend joining, it's £15 a year, and their online records are very useful if you have ancestors in Northumberland or Durham.

I had actually messaged them to know whether they had those records online and they didn't answer  :'(

But THANK YOU anyway! West Street might be the one if they are not at Erskine.

Is my only option to get a 4-hour train to Berwick?

Despite what the commercial sites infer in their advertising bumf, there is still a lot which is (and may never be) online.


Indeed! I was considering buying the microfiche as a last ditch attempt, but no idea how to actually read it without the proper equipment.

I was shocked that these records are not even in the FamilySearch library. They have stuff that's much more niche but not this.

I found this entry on FreeReg; it's outside the period you mention but the names fit:


Sadly not them! They got married in Kyloe in 1797.

Northumberland / Belford Presbyterian records online?

Hello!

After scouring the internet for weeks, I am starting to believe that there is truly no way to see records for Belford's Presbyterian churches online.

I have looked into everything I could find online (mainly United Secession) so I am assuming I would need Erskine Street or West Street.

I am trying to track down a Johnson family [John and Margaret] who had children between 1797 and 1821.

Is my only option to get a 4-hour train to Berwick?

Thank you!
