The church, dedicated to St. John of Beverley, ...; the east end was rebuilt in 1819, and the west end, with the spire, in 1842. There are chapels of ease at Bingfield and Wall.

A lot of the population of Northumberland at that time were non-conformist.

The non-conformist records are separate from the parish records but the Northumberland County Records office at Ashington have a lot of the non-conformist records transcribed so they are quite easy to search through if you have an appriximate date.

The staff are very good and would probably check for you if you asked (although it is some years since I did any research up there so things might have changed).

Hi Gins
The person I am looking for is John Maddison born about 1757 in Anick Northumberland died in 1829 Pittington Married Barbara Fenwick :-)

Looking at a map of the area around Anick, it is close to Hexham, Corbridge, Acomb, and Wall - all of which if you Google would appear to have churches but not necessarily at the time you are interested in. There may be more.

It might be best for you to contact local Archives and enquire with them what churches they hold records for at that time. They would be able to tell you what churches there were in that area
