== Record Description ==

These records are linked to an index on Durham University's website: http://familyrecords.dur.ac.uk/nei/data/advanced.php  

Durham is in the North East section of England and is bordered by Northumberland, Cumbria and North Yorkshire. The name "Durham" comes from the Old English "dun", meaning hill, and the Old Norse "holme", which translates to island.  

A peculiar is a parish that is administered by a diocese other than the one where it is actually located. It is released from the jurisdiction of the bishop in whose diocese it lies and is governed by another. In this case, it is several parishes administered by the ecclesiastical authority of the Bishop of Durham. Inventories include a list of personal belongings and assets. Bonds are loans. A person will loan their money to a company, a city, or the government with the promise to be paid back in full.
