I'm looking for the birth of Robert Cushlow born in Annfield Plain Co. Durham about 1863. I have him on the 1881/91/1901 censuses. I have his Marriage to Isabella Stark 31st Dec 1881 in Thornley Co. Durham. I've searched Find My Past 1861-1865. Can't find him on Ancestry, Family Search Free B.M.D. or Durham records online. I have found members of the family under Cushla, Kushlow,Cushlaw,Cushlo and Cushloe!! I want to find who his Parents were. Help!! Thanks in Advance. Maureen.

Annfield Plain was in the parish of lanchester.
the years you need are not on the IGI, but they are covered by the family Search pilot site

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

I have had a quick look through the 1862 and63 baptisms while i was having my usual nightly chat to my mother. I didn't see him, but as I tend to glaze over, I could have missed him.

if you don't know how to use this site, i can pm you the instructions
