I live in the USA -- Florida to be precise.
My birth certificate says I was born in Baldersby-St-James in Rose Cottage on October 30, 1950. I hope to travel to the UK next year, and hope to find a record of my birth in the local [Anglican] church, and also see my birth place if it still exists.

Richmond Photographic Memories
Some women artists paint the view of Richmond from across the River Swale. In the left distance can be seen smoke rising from the gasworks beside the falls. Richmond had one of the earliest gasworks in Europe, built in 1820 to provide street lighting for the fashionable Georgian town.

The Terrace, another Georgian promenade, offers a spectacular panorama of the town. On the right is St Mary's parish church, in the centre the Grammar School, and to the left Church Mill, demolished in 1969, the last of many Richmond watermills once powered by the River Swale.

Richmond Photographic Memories
Richmond had a strong Roman Catholic tradition, partly due to the Lawson family of nearby Brough Hall, who gave the land here in Newbiggin for the church of St Joseph and St Francis Xavier; it was rebuilt on a larger scale in 1868. The spirelet is prominent in several vistas, a masterly touch by the architect George Goldie.
