Registers
Our churches only hold our current registers of baptisms, marriages and funerals.
Completed registers are sent to the Northumberland County Archives for safe-keeping and you should contact them for more information and to obtain copies. Click here for more information.
Copies of birth, marriage and death certificates can be obtained here.

If you believe that we might hold a more recent record, we can search any registers we might have. There is a fee for this, as detailed at http://www.cofe.anglican.org/lifeevents/fees/
In addition, if you are looking for baptism records at Spittal, there is a complete list in frames by the font in St John's church. Please come and join us for Sunday worship and then feel free to search through the list.
