They were under Durham because until the mid 1840's Tweedmouth lay within a small 'outlier' of County Durham known as 'Islandshire'. Births/marriages/deaths which took place there were registered in County Durham, and it also formed parts of County Durham in the 1841 Census. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islandshire
Other outliers of County Durham within Northumberland were Bedlingtonshire and Norhamshire.
These areas were transferred into the jurisdiction of Northumberland in 1844.
