Would someone know where I can get Memorial Inscriptions for the Black Hill Cemetery, Benfieldside Parish?

They're in there somewhere....

I have only seen the first film, this is how the books were set out, in columns:
Entry number;
year, date & month (of burial);
surname, christian name;
relationship (this could be, for instance 'son/daughter of....' for an infant/young person, or 'wife of...' for a woman. In the event of the woman being a widow, usually only the word 'widow' is entered, no relationships being given. Usually no entry at all for adult men.)
Occupation (where applicable)
Age
Address 1 (Street)
Address2 (Township, eg Blackhill, Benfieldside)
Officiating Minister;
Section (in which buried)
Grave number (this is useful, since some people bought a plot, hence family members buried in the same numbered plot)
Whether in 'consecrated' or 'unconsecrated' section of graveyard (effectively Anglican or Non-conformist/Roman Catholic)
Parish from which removed (eg Consett, Benfieldside)
Hope this helps
Jennifer

National Burial Index 2 covers Blackhill cemetery (the main one) which is probably the one which you require, also if you live in the Consett area I understand that Derwentside Council hold the original copies.

I run the gravetext website and generate its content. I have recently completed just over 1400 headstone transcriptions in the new graveyard - about a third of the total. If you are looking for headstones and can't find anything relevant in those listed for the old graveyard there may be some of use in the latest transcripts. If you let me know the relevant names I'll do a search and let you have the results.

According to the Burial records Farrow Longstaff, aged 65 years, was buried on 29th November 1919 in plot no. 259, Section 6 of the North graveyard.
I have yet to transcribe the headstones in Section 6 so don't know if he has got one or not. However, plot no 259 should not be too hard to locate. I'll have a look and, if there is a headstone, try to get a decent picture of it.

I've just had a walk along to the graveyard to check for a headstone - there isn't one. In fact there are very few in that part of Section 6. I photographed a couple of headstones that were in roughly that location and checked the information on them against the database to make sure I was in the right area; the location was confirmed, so no luck.
There aren't many Longstaff burials in Blackhill cemetery so I've attached a PDF showing them all. You can confirm Farrow's details from that. People are usually buried within 3 or 4 days of their death, so unless there was some reason for Farrow to be put into cold storage you may have been working on the wrong date of death.
