Baptisms St Oswin, South Shields

[Tickettyboo]

That's a really kind offer and it would be great, but only if you have time.
Please don't go to too much trouble, I may be able to make it to the North East next year  :-)

I so wish there was a name index online, that way I'd know if they were baptised there and be able to just order copies of the entries.
Unfortunately the budget just doesn't run to also paying 'research' fees. I am not saying that the archives overcharge, research 'can' be time consuming, just that its outside my budget.

Send me a list of what you want from those Registers Boo.  I think it's possible to send via a personal message?  Whichever you think best.

Just in case anyone thinks I am 'very' rude and haven't replied to Rhododendron. we have continued this via PM.

I just looked at the thread and if I don't know me, I'd think I was really rude not to reply :-)

Thanks Boo.

Now I am going up to S/Shields next weekend for my regular monthly visit.  Only a couple of days this time but if I can fit it in (no guarantee mind you!) I will pop into the Library and see if I can do your look-ups for you.

That is if you want me to?

[Tickettyboo]

thank you so much mtoto, that was really kind of you to look for me and its very much appreciated.

Winifred and Roland were at number 57 in 1917 when they married, then by the time of Jean Marie's birth they were at number 65 so that all looks about right.

May I check if the dates for the boys are birth or baptism?

Once I establish that I can order the copies :-)

[Tickettyboo]

Copies of these records now ordered :-)

Thanks to all who helped

Boo

[mtoto]

The boys dates are births.

[Tickettyboo]

thanks, I have ordered the copies and they are eagerly awaited now :-)

Very good of you to help.
