About this Parish

Horden St. Mary was created in 1913 from Easington St. Mary.

Parts of this parish became part of these parishes: Peterlee St. Cuthbert.

Available Records

The following table provides covering dates for all original registers, microfilm copies and indexes available in the Record Office for Horden St. Mary. 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.

For County Durham marriage indexes from 1837 that you can search online see birth, death, marriage and civil partnership certificates.

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.
