| Here is a list of Durham parishes beginning with the letter A and the pre-1858 ecclesiastical courts that had jurisdiction over them.
| | The whole of the county of Durham was under the primary jurisdiction of the Court of the Bishop of Durham also known as the Episcopal Consistory Court of Durham (see above). This court should be searched first when looking for the probate of a deceased person who lived or owned property in County Durham. <br> |
|
| |
|
| Also go to the lists for parishes beginning with [[Durham Probate Jurisdictions Parishes B-C|B-C]], [[Durham Probate Jurisdictions Parishes D and E|D-E]], [[Durham Probate Jurisdictions Parishes G Through J|F-J]], [[Durham Probate Jurisdictions, Parishes K-S|K-R]], [[Durham Probate Jurisdictions, 'S' Parishes|S]], and [[Durham Probate Jurisdictions, Parishes T-Z|T-Z]].
| | The other courts listed above had secondary jurisdiction over County Durham. If you do not find a probate listed in the indexes to the Court of the Bishop of Durham, then you should try the secondary courts. |

| | The last court(s) to search would be the Prerogative Court of York and the Prerogative Court of Canterbury and any appeals courts (see the main England Probate Records page for an explanation of the appeals courts). |
