The following table provides covering dates for all original registers, microfilm copies and indexes available in the Record Office for Middlesbrough Preparative Meeting. However, you should bear in mind that we may not have records for the whole period indicated. See the detailed list of records for this parish for more information.

The more recent registers (after the end dates below) are not in the Record Office and all enquiries should be directed to the clergyman responsible for the parish. Find contact details for all parishes in Durham Diocese in the Diocesan Directory of People and Places.
