Greetings! I'm hoping someone here can help me make sense of some local history. I'm in the U.S., but my ancestors hail from Northumberland. I have a Bible record that lists a marriage in 1894 as taking place at "Bedlington Old Church." Using those literal search terms turns up no such church. I do not know if this is because the church no longer exists or perhaps that they were referring to the church colloquially rather than by its proper name. I also did not know if back then "Bedlington" would have had a wider geographical meaning? So, back in 1894, if someone referred to the "Bedlington Old Church," to what would they be referring? Many thanks to anyone who can shed some light. I greatly look forward to visiting this church, should I ever track it down!
