Hi Steve,

Here's the link to the Durham County Council Website showing Fatfield parish:

hi Barbara
thanks for the Durham CC link,it looks like Fatfield previously to 1875 was part of Birtley and Washington.Can't find Birtley on the FamilySearchLabs Bishops Transcripts though.
thanks

Hi Steve,

Not sure if it might come under Washington.  If you post the family details perhaps someone may be able to help

It was in Chester-le-Street Parish until 1850 when parts of this parish became part of the parish of Birtley St. John the Evangelist. Then in 1875 parts of this parish became part of the parish of Fatfield St. George.

Sorry to hijack your thread Steve, it just prompted me to say how I love some of the place names in County Durham. My mother was born in the West Auckland area and when we visited, us kids were fascinated by the names - there's Pity Me, Wackerfield, Billy Row, Burnt Houses, Tow Law, Butterknowle. I could go on forever .... they just roll off the tongue!
Bell, Salter, Street - Devon, Middlesbrough.
Lickess- North Yorkshire, Middlesbrough.
Etherington - North Yorks and Durham.
Barker- North Yorks
Crooks- Durham
Forster- North Yorks/Durham
Newsam, Pattison, Proud - North Yorks.
Timothy, Griffiths, Jones - South Wales

Has anyone done a thread on odd place-names?  I'm sure they must have, and Durham certainly has some good ones
