I have the death year and the place where my husbands Grt Grandmother died,how do i find the cemetary she would be buried in.Her name was Margaret Ann English,maiden name Paxton she died aged 28 at Horton near Berwick on a little farm.I think the nearest cemetaries are Chatton Wooler Chathill and a few more little villages.It would mean trailing around every cemetary trying to find a headstone that may not even exist,but i would still like to know where she is buried.Can anyone help.Anne.
PS.Her death was registerd 2nd qtr 1892 Glendale.

Better than traipsing around cemetaries hoping to find a head stone. Try going through parish burial records near where she lived and died. If you have a death date the burial will probably be within 5 days of the death.

Anne,
Info on Northumberland parishes ( from www.genuki.com) shows that Horton only 3 miles from Wooler, lay within the Parish of Chatton.
See the section on Chatton Parish that deals with church records within it " Church Records"
It outlines where the individual church records are hell.
But maybe you should also consider civil cemeteries as well as church graveyards. ( I think Alnwick, Tweedmouth and Rothbury were the nearest civil cemeteries to Horton ... I am reading this from a user guide of cems from Northumberland County Record Offices, which lists dates of Burial registers, Grave Spaces Registers etc held by CRO)
And of course the religous denomination of your relative could have a bearing on where buried.
(Best of luck. I was in a cemetery today -Ashington, had the grid ref for the grave... still couldn't find it )
Michael Dixon,
