• Penshaw (All Saints) marriages 1813-1817 (147 marriages)
  • Penshaw (All Saints) baptisms 1813-1817 (672 baptisms). We owe a big thank-you to the long-ago clerics who included the mother’s maiden names in this period when it was not required - so remember to try the Mother’s Maiden Surname search in this collection (Houghton-le-Spring district). Penshaw is not covered by the IGI and is not, as far as we know, online anywhere else. You may discover many missing folks from the Houghton-le-Spring area in this collection - for my own research, I discovered 6 missing people and 1 never-before-known mother’s maiden surname! Penshaw covers Shiney Row, Wapping, Coxgreen, Biddick, New Lambton, Offerton, Burn Moor, Carr Houses, Bowes House, Whitfield Pit, D Pit, Mill Row, Low Banwell, Low Marley, and of course Penshaw (New Penshaw, Penshaw Staiths, Bog, and Foundry).
