970 baptisms at Stockton St. Thomas 1798-1806, from the Bishop’s Transcript. This parish is not indexed by the IGI nor by any other online index that we know of, and this is the period rich in parental detail. For example:

• 8 Apr 1798 John Portus Walton, born 30 Jul 1797, son of William Walton (hatter, native of Hexham, Northumberland) by his wife Sarah Portus (native of this parish)
• 17 Aug 1806 Isabella Lorrain, born 27 Dec 1805, 2nd daughter of Thomas Lorrain (husbandman, native of Dilstone in th parish of Corbridge, Northumberland) by his second wife Elizabeth Whorlton (native of this parish)

Since Stockton was a port town, it attracted settlers from many other regions, and you will find many parents who were born in Cumberland, Northumberland, Yorkshire, and places further away.
