 Rosemary, That is exactly why Bishop Ambrose of Hexham & Newcastle Diocese ( no longer with us) asked all his parish priests to offer up their records to T & W Archs for copying... to save themselves some time and facilitate our research of Catholic records.

 Rosemary,

Today I have confirmed with Tyne & Wear Archives, that they do not hold any church records for St Michael's RC of Elswick.  They added that the precedure of churches offering up their records to be copied, was voluntary.

So I think that leaves you with direct contact with the church/priest , as the only way to find "events" of that church.

I may be able to find whatever you need to find in St Micheals , my Grandmother has access to many books that are held beneath the church.

What are you looking for??

You're an angel David :)

I'll pm you with the details, I don't want to give my mam's details on the open thread.

Hello David,
I was browsing through Roots Chat and I found these entries regarding St Michael's RC Church. I have had exactly the same problem as Rosemary, I contacted Father Bellamy with a SAE and also twice by phone but with no luck. I have hit a brick wall with my research into my Dad's family and was really hoping St Michael's records might hold a clue for me. Would it be very rude of me to ask if your Grandmother could possibly help me out I would be so grateful!!

My Grandmother is still looking for Rosemary's records and I will contact her very shortly as it has been busy over the christmas.
If you can contact me with what you want to find out in about a week.

Sorry for the delays  ;)

Take care David

Don't worry David, I've waited years already, it won't make much difference time-wise :)

I'm only grateful that there might be some success at the end this time.
Hope you had a good xmas, and I look forward to visiting the church with my mam very soon.

Regards
Rosemary

Hi David,
I was in touch with you before Xmas about St Michael's Church. I was wondering if this would be a good time to give you details of my enquiry or this still going to be difficult for you?
                Thanks Eileen
