In 1931 W. Layton PETRIE was, I believe, the Vicar of a Holy Trinity Church, the one in either Southwick, Sunderland, or Stockton-on-Tees. (It appears that in 1925 he was in Hendon, Sunderland, so Southwick seems more likely). Since I am the best part of 300 miles from the DRO, does anybody know which church he was at, from a BMD certificate, for instance? Adrian, Hants

Hi, Not sure if this is the same chap but there cannot be many Layton Petrie as vicars in the NE in the first quarter of the 20th C: Church St. Barnabas, Hendon, is an ecclesiastical parish formed May 26, 1876, from that of St. Paul. The church, in Suffolk street south, built in 1866-68, is an edifice of red brick and stone, in the Early English style, consisting of apsidal chancel, clerestoried nave, aisles and west porch: there are 600 sittings. The register dates from the year 1876. The living is a vicarage, net yearly value £363, in the gift of the rector of Hendon, and held since 1915 by the Rev. Stanley Layton Petrie, of Hatfield Hall, Durham.
