Title: Church Bank Cemetery Wallsend, burial registers lookup
Post by: JayG on Monday 01 December 08 00:01 GMT (UK)
Hi

Dinah Smith was buried at the above cemetery 25/3/1963.

Is anyone able to check the cemetery registers & find out her plot number & whether her husband George Smith is buried with her.  I don't know when he died & can't face trawling the death index & won't know which is his death anyway  ???  I know he died before Dinah.

Cheers

Jay

Whoops!  Jen you are right.  I didn't notice that the original post was was years ago and not from yesterday.

JayG, if this is still outstanding I am happy to help when I next get time.  If I don't hear from you I will assume this has since been answered.

Some progress has been made since I first made this post as I now know when George died.

When the probate index came online I made a list of all possible George Smith deaths that could be likely him & cross checked them against possible probate records.  This paid off as his widow was the executor and the address matched where she was living when she died.

RTL, if you have time and don't mind checking i'll PM you the details.

Yes, I will check the registers for you if you let me know the details.  Do you want anything I find sent by pm or is it alright by you to post on forum?

I take it as you have said you will pm you must view this information as private?

I will now look for George's entry.  Can you confirm if it is okay to post anything found on main board?

Church Bank Cemetery
Entry O6293. ?  I will have to check this also in the big tome burial books as first number 0 is not totally clear and may be something else.
George Smith
Miner
Age 67
Where death occurred: 30 Queens Crescent, Wd
Buried 17 March 1938
Section G
No 616E Cons.

Looks like they are both buried in same grave.  So may possibly have a grave stone.

Added: Just checked big tomes at North Shields local studies - Entry number looks more like 26293.
