Look up for Spinks baptisms, probably Christ Church, Jarrow at Durham Record

Hello,
Located the Spinks family on the electoral roll for Ellison St in 1918 to early 1920s and wonder if the Spinks children were baptised in nearest C of E church, Christ Church.  The children of Henry (Harry) Barker SPINKS and wife Jane Elizabeth born at that time were Hilda Spinks, born 21 May 1918; Edward Spinks, born 02 April 1920; Thomas Spinks, born June qtr 1922; Mary Elizabeth, born March qtr 1924 but dying almost immediately.
The family may have been in Ellison St earlier than 1918, so baptisms for Isaac Spinks 12/02/1916; Rachel Spinks, born 02/12/1914 and Henry Tennant Spinks, born June qtr 1913 may also be a Christ Church.  I think St Paul's would be too far away East from Ellison St.
If anyone has the time to check at Durham Record Office and send me the baptism details I'd be very grateful.   
Thanks very much - Richard.

My apologies for this - but I'm not sure why you are considering only C of E baptisms for the children.  The marriage entry for Henry and Jane (page 1047) does not, to my mind, suggest a C of E marriage.

As Tickettyboo has mentioned on a thread of yours, it is unclear if Durham Archives has opened and if they are letting the public look at the microfilms.
Tyne and Wear Archives has opened and will also have the records but they aren't letting people access the microfilms.

South Shields Local Studies is open and possibly letting people access microfilms there.  The records you want will be there. 
Might be worth checking with them if the public can access the films.  Perhaps someone at South Shields might be able to help out with this if so.

Hello,
Re your observation

The marriage entry for Henry and Jane (page 1047) does not, to my mind, suggest a C of E marriage. 

I do not have page 1047 - what does this refer to?  All the info I have on the marriage of Henry Barker Spinks and Jane Elizabeth Challinor is that it took place in the Chester-le-Street RD on 7 August 1909 and I have not been able to verify it independently.  But happy to stand corrected.  Please let me know if you have the marriage details.
Thanks, RH.

I believe BumbleB is referring to the fact that it is a high page number. 

If you search freebmd for that quarter and registration district without putting in any names you will see that the lowest page numbers are in the 980's  and the highest 1060's.  I understand that the low page numbers are C of E  followed by other denominations, though I am happy to be told otherwise.  As your page ref is 1047 then it is possible it is other denomination or registry office

Thanks Rosie99 and BumbleB, I had no idea that a denomination and hence church could be identified by the page reference number.
I believe FindMyPast now has Catholic parish records, I will try there.  I don't suppose you can drill down further into which denomination?

I'm afraid there might be only one way to confirm the denomination - purchase the marriage certificate.    And that may, or may not, lead to baptisms.
