Parish History[edit | edit source]
HARTLEPOOL (St. Hilda), a sea-port, incorporated market-town, and parochial chapelry, in the union of Stockton, N. E. division of Stockton ward, S. division of the county of Durham, 19 miles (E. S. E.) from Durham, and 257 (N. by W.) from London. There are places of worship for Presbyterians, Primitive Methodists, Wesleyans, and Roman Catholics. [1]
In 1724 the parish of St. Hilda was created from the nearby ancient parish of Hart, Durham. Subsequent parishes of Holy Trinity and St Barnabas were created in the town of Hartlepool.[2]
Resources[edit | edit source]
Civil Registration[edit | edit source]

Parish records[edit | edit source]
The Parish Registers for the period 1566-1987 are deposited at Durham County Record Office, County Hall, Durham, DH1 5UL (EP/Ha.SH). Engineering work will be undertaken in future to improve access to the Parish Register transcripts at FamilySearch Historical Records.
- Hartlepool, Holy Trinity 1852-1980 (EP/Ha.HT).
- Hartlepool, St. Barnabas 1905-1951 (EP/Ha.HT).
Durham University Library Archives and Special Collections DDR/EA/PBT/2/126 Parish Register transcripts are available to search free online at FamilySearch Historical Records. They contain under that reference the 1897 transcript of the burial of West Hartlepool Friends.
The dates of the post-1760 transcripts have been noted in detail and sometimes only cover years. For most parishes in the collection there are gaps in the sequence of transcripts. It is advisable to consult the original parish registers for these years and events.
