I have found the baptism entry of my 3xg grandfather, Robert Hutchinson.
I found it on familysearch.org in the Bishops Transcripts 1762-1833 at Stanhope, Co Durham – page 407.
Robert was baptised in Stanhope, on 19th June, 1814.

His parents were Hugh and Elizabeth Hutchinson. I can’t make out what their address is, apart from Hope ?, then Parish of Wolsingham.

Please could someone have a look for me, and see if they can decipher it for me.

On a different note, does anyone know if the Rootsweb lists are still down?

Re Rootsweb mailing lists, the simplest thing is best - just to go to the Rootsweb site and click on the Mailing Lists tab. This is the only information it gives, but obviously they're not working yet:
