Jenny, The 'local' church to Limestonebrae is undoubtedly Ninebanks but prior to 1767 you need to look at Allendale. A non-conformist congregation was established at Garrigill around 1662 but the first registers are 1763. See http://tinyurl.com/m73h9rh. The other possibility is the Quakers who originally built a meeting house at Limestonebrae but I have not yet found any relevant records. My history of Limestone Brae is at http://tinyurl.com/n3svtz2 which you have probably visited but the 1740s are at present a gaping void. I will be watching this thread with great interest to add to my history of Limestone Brae.

Hi, I have been confused by the notation 'of this parish' and the online rootsweb answer was that the person only had to be in the parish for 21 days prior for the banns to be read and to avoid having banns read in both parishes often they lived in the parish for that time. What this could mean is that the person of whatever parish may in fact be born and baptized elsewhere but living where he or she was working. I have several Hetherington/ Charlton marriages in the Lanercost area of Cumberland and some of them came from Scotland.
