   Sounds like a different Thomas Seaton because the one in 38 Roger Street in 1881 was born Scotland, not Ireland.   Malcolm

   There was a Robert Seaton at 38 Roger Street in 1881 but he was only one year old.  Malcolm

         I forgot to mention yesterday that the Burial Records show that Thomas Seaton (age 47 at death in 1883) and Elizabeth Seaton, who was a widow when she died (aged 77) in 1917 were each buried in plot no. 309 in Section M. There was an age difference of only 4 years between them. They were, almost certainly, husband and wife. It could be useful if you follow this up through the nearest available census to Elizabeth's death.

I agree, you make interesting observations while exploring our past.  How paths cross and recross over time.  We think we live in a big world but it seems we travel in smaller circles than we first credit. 
Thomas Seaton does look like a well respected member of his community indeed.  Need to explore his past further.   Aby

Blackhill Cemetery records are now available online via Family Search, as well as on Durham Records Online (pay per view).

I can't see a burial of a Sarah Ann Moor at Blackhill in January 1940

Have you looked for a burial at Leadgate itself?

[bernice52]

I have checked FS for Leadgate, and no cemeteries listed. I seem to have difficulty with the durham record office search  can anyone assist with that please
will now change the subject to any burial search for James oct - dec 1938 or Sarah Ann died 12th Jan 1940 in second st any suggestions gratefully appreciated as  we are in NZ
thanks
