Hello - I have only just now seen your post.  I have a couple of suggestions.  1. If you phone Crematorium & Cemeteries General Enquiries at Washingborough Road Lincoln. The staff are very helpful.  Tel  873 646 of course you need the std code if calling from out of the area or on mobile. 2. Have you thought of trying Deceased online although it is a paying site - it doesn't cost very much  :)

I think your John ch 1783 at Woodhorn came from Warkworth. I think his father was John also born Warkworth 1754  I have no details of a mother but I think siblings of John b 1754 are Thomas, George & William I am sure there are probably more  than this though.If this is he  - there is no connection to the Baker-Cresswells of Cresswell.

 :) At one time quite a few Twizells came from Newbiggin, Woodhorn area and Bedlington. Dent was also a popular name there too. I do have some Mary Twizell's in my tree - but not that one. There was at one time a fishing coble called 'The Mary Twizell' at Newbiggin but this was a long time ago in the dim and distant past I do not know the other name though - are they some ancestors of yours? Have you tried a search engine on the name Mary Twizell? or Twizells in general? also try Newbiggin by the sea on a search engine too. You should get quite a few websites to look at - among them the RNLI which gives a brief history of the village

Yes I agree I would hazard a guess at about 1890 - what sort of work did he do? He wasn't on the rivers or docks was he?

World War One / Re: 16th regiment of the east york and Lancashire
« on: Sunday 09 September 12 16:27 BST (UK)  »
Can you find any info at the national archives? I guess he could have suffered a head trauma which gave him epilepsy as I doubt  he would have got through his medical otherwise. Though I could be wrong.  Yes I imagine further stress or aggravation could make the epilepsy worse. I guess the medication wasn't so good in those days. You do not mention his name. Is he on any sites like FindMyPast or ancestry? what you really need are his service records which should tell you where he was. also try a search ebgine like  google - that should give you a bit of info about his regiment and battalion
