Hi Jack, In my earlier message I told you that the LDS library catalogue has films for Ellingham, you quoted Ellingham in your message below. Since then it has been mentioned that Shipley comes into, or is very close to, Eglingham, note spelling difference. The LDS library catalogue has various listings for the PRs of Eglingham CofE parish church, you might find the baptisms, including those for people who lived in Shipley perhaps. With having the first name Ignatius perhaps the family were Roman Catholic and therefore very likely baptised their children in that faith rather than in a CofE church. If this is the case then maybe other listers can direct you to the nearest RC church to Shipley/Eglingham so that you can search the LDS library catalogue for those RC records to see if they are on any LDS films. Regards Jenny DeAngelis Spain. <<Hello all I was wondering if any one has access to Parish records before 1766 for Ellingham or Shipley , or Belford, If I am write Ignatius Main lived there and he and his wife had several children there before 1766 LDS records start about 1777 to late for me. I would be grateful for any help>>
