Hello Everyone
Esp Linda in Herriott Country.
I cannot thank you enough for your advice, and for the last 3 nights trawled through the parish records.
As they are not indexed it was quite difficult at first and when I realised they had put the baptisms marriages and burials of each year following each other I finally cracked it.
I have now found my Thomas marriage to Eleanor, their first child Jane's Baptism the following year and another sibling in 1835.
Still working my way through, still cant find James but I am still trawling.
if you have any one in Durham and Northumberland this is an excellent part of the Lds Site.
Thanks again
Carol

http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/

is the site for the LDS record pilot site.
It is free, but you need to register your email address. It says it will then email you and your account will be active, but I have never had that email yet. Just wait a few mins and log in.

From the opening page choose England Dioscese of Durham Bishops transcripts ca 1700-1900.

You will see that these cover Northumberland as well. They are the copies of the original parish registers which the churches sent to the Bishop at the end of every year. They are currently held in Durham Uni and have been photographed there. They should be identical to the parish register you see in the records office, but of course, the person who sat and copied them out at the end of the year could have made the odd mistake

Hi everyone,
Thank you for your help, I did have the 1841 census details, but there is only 1 child born within the registration era as Portland Rose pointed out. Thank you.
But with the Thompsons in this area it as a minefield there are loadsssss.
I know this appears thick but what is the reg code for Alnwick ? I know for the Croydon area the area code is 2a etc . is 25 the area code in Northumberland somewhere.
I am off to work in a min and wont be back until gone 10 tonight so Ill catch up with you all later.
And again thank you for your help.

What about buying one of the sibling's birth certs?

Hs anyone out there got the parish records for Alnwick Northumberland for 1800 to 1840 or visitng the Northumberland archives.
I have a James Thompson b 1837 in Alnwick, and there are two born the same year.Both pre compulsory registration ..
I have James marriage certificate to Louisa Bridge in Ashford Kent,which indicates his father was Thomas Thompson a shoemaker or cordwainer.
The only Thomas with a James b in Alnwick has a wife called Eleanor.
Could any one look up his christening and the marriage of Thomas to Eleanor so I could find out his mothers surname. Please.
Thanks in anticipation.
Carol
