In 1875, the civil registration district of Durham was split into the districts of Durham and Lanchester, and in 1859 the district of Stockton was split into the districts of Stockton and Hartlepool. We have chosen to use the later categorization of parishes into districts. For example, in the list below, Esh was in Durham district before 1875, but was in Lanchester after 1875, so we have listed Esh in Lanchester.
