Durham University Library Archives and Special Collections DDR/EA/PBT/2/259 1769-1871 Parish Register transcripts are available to search free online at Record Search.Record Search is undertaking engineering work to correct the present location of images due the insertion into the collection of parish records in the original bound volume for Sunderland Holy Trinity parish Durham. The online images for Wallsend baptisms can be located at image 151 of 1412 in the Sunderland images and begin with the year January 1814(DDR/EA/PBT/2/259/148). The sequence then continues until image 695 of 1412 which shows burial register for 1833 (DDR/EA/PBT/2/259/715).

The dates of the post-1760 transcripts have been noted in detail and sometimes only cover years. For most parishes in the collection there are gaps in the sequence of transcripts. It is advisable to consult the original parish registers for these years and events.
