Hello June,

The baptism records for St. Paul's (1885-1969) are held with the Northumber Archives Services. Simply click on this link below for further details. You may be able to arrange how you may view the handwritten records.

I think contacting them beforehand is a must, if you hope they have records.

Also the Northumberland & Durham Family History Society would be a good place to start: http://www.ndfhs.org.uk

I think this may be the church you want:-

Elswick Parish of St Stephen and St. Paul
Clumber Street
Newcastle Upon Tyne
NE4 7ST

(0191) 2734 680

You could always phone them before you go and see if they have the records you want or if they are held at the County Records Office. I think this may be a new church but they may know where the records are.

Hi Flick
Hope I'm not being stupid, does this mean the church will be St Pauls?

In which Parish were they living in 1901?

The odds are that he was baptised in that one.............
