'''Additional information:''' Barnard Castle St Mary was '''created in 1723''' from a 12th century chapelry in Gainford Ancient Parish.  


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.
