New parishes were not created from parts of this parish until 1838. See http://www.durham.gov.uk/recordoffice/dro.nsf/vwebplaces You will only get the names of the parties, and either 'of this parish' or their parishes. The names of witnesses, if they were minors (under 21) or of 'full age' (over 21), and the name of the officiating priest. Regards Stan Mapstone
