Ancestry adds Teesside Parish Records

Middlesborough dominates Teesside. It was one of the fastest-growing Victorian towns in Britain, from a hamlet of 25 people to a major industrial center in less than a century. Now, the regional centre has a population of around 680,000.

On 23 October, Ancestry added three collections for Middlesborough and surrounding Teesside.

Teesside, England, Church of England Births and Baptisms, 1813-1923, 670,814 records.
Teesside, England, Church of England Marriages and Banns, 1754-1939, 295,547 records.
Teesside, England, Church of England Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1538-1812,  169,497 records.

Some other communities include are Loftus, Redcar, Saltburn, Skelton and Thornby,

Each has linked images of the original record, which are browseable by parish. Naturally, early event information is sketchy.
