Gwyneth: I don't want to annoy Brian by filling this List with NDFHS related matters, but I have to mention that the Chairman has put a message on the NDFHS List today to say that the Members' section of the Web-site is now up and running. Perhaps that means you should try again. Otherwise an e-mail to the Society at Percy House may help sort things. I myself have no official position there (apart from being S Tyneside Branch Chairman) and so cannot comment further. The only St Hilda's churches going back to the 1830s are those of South Shields and Hartlepool. Given that everything you have asked about relates to Tyneside, I take it you mean St Hilda's, South Shields. To answer the question you asked, St Hilda's parish registers and other parish records are now in Durham County Record Office, where all Co Durham C of E parish registers over 100 years old have to be. However, there are microfilm copies in South Tyneside Library, Prince Georg Square, South Shields and also in Tyne and Wear Archives, Blandford House, Blandford Square, Newcastle. The NDFHS publish several microfiche/booklet/CD indexes to various parts of them - see www.ndfhs.co.uk - and also to various non-C of E churches in South Shields. However, those researching from a distance might prefer to risk using the BTs (not always in agreement with the PRs!), which are on-line on the LDS "FamilySearch" web-site. If you contact me off-list with precise details of what you are looking for, I might be able to help you from my own extensive indexes to Northumberland and Co Durham (including lots of S Shields ones) register entries, MIs etc. Is this the same Dodds family as Edwin Dodds and the Hope Dodds? If so, I think there is also some information included on the MI list compiled by Edwin etc for St Mary's, Gateshead.

Oh except a baby John William Dodds died 1833 and was buried in St Hilda’s (there are 4 other babies in the same family that died, but I don’t know where they are yet), do you know where I would find St Hilda’s records please. Can you help me with another problem please? I joined the NDFHS and received a membership number however I can’t log in. I have emailed them and haven’t received a reply. Very frustrating. Thanks again, Gwyneth
