Durham St Cuthbert, Durham Genealogy

Parish History

The parish was created in 1858.

Parish Registers

The Parish Registers for the period 1863-1987 are deposited at Durham County Record Office, County Hall, Durham, DH1 5UL (EP/Du/SC).

Durham University Library Archives and Special Collections DDR/EA/PBT/ 2/81 Parish Register transcripts are available to search free online at Record Search. Note that the Library contains a reference to the 1878 Baptismal register in the transcript DDR/EA/PBT/2/81/243-250 pages were too fragile to be bound and reference should be made to the parish register. The burials for this year 1878 are "strays" from the bound volume but are found at PBT/2/81/235-240

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.
