Hi,

Does anyone have access to the parish records for Hartlepool I am trying to confirm the birth details for Mary Alice Matthews born 1875 in West Hartlepool.

Her father would be John Matthews and the mother is probably Ellen Matthews (nee Lynch).

The closest BMD entry I have so far found is Sep 1875, Hartlepool 10a 228

I would be grateful if someone could look this up in the parish records and confirm the details especially the name of the mother.

Thanks,

Andy

You can search Bap M & Bur for Hartlepool on this site for free

http://www.durhamrecordsonline.com/PRInfo.php

Try range of years, and even different locations. If the baptism isn't listed, then she may not have been baptised, or baptised CoE which are the main records transcribed.

The baptism Ann has posted came from https://www.familysearch.org/

It is a free site for EVERYONE to use, and worth adding to your 'favourites'. ;-)
