Yup working on finding his grave now  ::)

A visit to Tyne & Wear Archives might be in order  :-\  They hold all the cemetery records. Your search will be all the easier because you know the date on which he died. They have also got the records for the church at Chopwell.

Alternatively go to Newcastle Central Library and take a look at the Evening Chronicle for November 1910, just in case there is a death announcement which contains place of burial  :-\

Good advice thanks Jen
Don't suppose you fancy a day out there after Christmas to help me. I'll treat you to Lunch   ;D

Here's a link to another Turner mystery: Where is William's father John in 1891, and when did his mother die? It seems Martha wasn't the only member of the Turner family to turn violent  ;)

William still proving to be a problem. Just came back from the records office and no sign of his burial in any of the Newcastle Upon Tyne Cemeteries or those nearer his address at the time of Death.
So absolutely no idea where this fella is buried.

Have you checked if he's buried in the graveyard of St John's Church at Chopwell?

Hi Jay yeah I've checked Chopwell and all cemeteries in Newcastle upon Tyne.
I've a few to check in Durham area though I've gone through most of them.
It could be a fact that he was put into a paupers grave but then there should still be a record
