Hi All,   Has anyone come across the Golightly family at all?   I have a John Golightly, born 1798 in Byker Bar, married to an Ann Douglas, born 1802.   They were married 12/04/1823 at All Saints - you can find the Bishops Transcriprs record on Familysearch.org site, 1823-1830, image 33 of 713.   It looks like, going by census records, that they were then resident Wallsend, and or Howden (it's all a bit unclear though I believe the two were adjacent.)   Daughter Elizabeth, born 1824 according to census in Walls End is one example of their supposed presence there.   But I can't see the name Golightly appear at all in the Bishops Transcripts for Wallsend.   I have had one example in my tree of people jumping ship from CofE to Wesleyan, but I've not evidence this happened here.   Can anyone point me at other likely places to track down baptism records?   Regards   John

I have noted from census records that the name Golightly seems to be reasonably common in Co Durham.
