No prob's Michael.

Interesting stuff about Blyth library holdings - didn't know about that.

I've interests in Morpeth, but have tended to use Bolbec and Newcastle library - you never know, we might meet there someday!!!

Intersted in Blyth, I don't suppose the Library holds birth details, looking for parent details for a lady born in 1811.

I could stop off next time I'm up that way if they have something.

Thx

Dave,

Blyth Library has no church records of BMDs. It has an assortment of Censuses, mainly for the Blyth area. But it has a good selection of C1851 surname indexes for most of old Northumberland. Other "pearls" are Indexes on Ship Owners and Master Mariners, registered on the Tyne, Indexes of Coal Mine owners, Marriage Index for all-Northumberland 1813-1837, Tynemouth Workhouse Registers etc etc.

Church registers for Blyth area are available in Northumberland County Record Office ( Morpeth), and partially in Newcastle City Library and Tyne&Wear County Archives Services( Blandford House, Newcastle , and probably other places, including the appropriate churches.
