I have recently found an IGI extracted record that I'm interested in. Usually such records are baptisms and occasionally I get lucky and there's a birth date too. This record is for Dorothy Henderson Copeland born 4 Jan 1837 and location is given as Sunderland, Durham. The batch number is P002801. Since this is an extracted record I would have expected it to be a baptism but it's recorded as a birth. Questions: 1) If it is a birth - where would the record be from. 2) Assuming it was extracted from church records - which church would this be? A related question is for other extracted records that simply have Bishopwearmouth as the baptism location. Which church would that be? Thanks, Irene
Hi Irene, The Bishopwearmouth entries are most likely to be Bishopwearmouth, St Michael but that is only my assumption based on the information given. As for Dorothy Henderson Copeland birth, the FHL film number is 91116 and according to the film notes the only Sunderland births on that film are for 1804-1837 Malings Rigg Chapel (United Presbyterian Church). Hope this helps.
