I notice that if you search the IGI for Uiffins Haggerson in Co Durham there are also some hits for Euphemia Haggerson, though different years, including a middle name Kidd or Ridd. Perhaps Euphemia is the intended name, and either the transcription is wrong or the vicar/curate who wrote in the register didn't hear the name clearly. You'd need to see the original register entry to see what was actually written.
