Archibald Scott, Delves Lane, Consett

[Elliven]

In a newspaper report in The Newcastle Guardian and Tyne Mercury on 24th November 1860 the above mentioned Archibald Scott is reported to have died at his home, the Dolphin Inn, at Delves Lane, Consett. He was also a blacksmith.

I cannot find his death listed on FreeBMD nor can I find any trace of his burial in the Consett area.  Can anyone suggest how I might find his burial place.  Many thanks

His burial is on Durham Records Online. You will need to purchase some credits to find out exactly where it was.

The death is registered as Archbold Scott (note spelling of Christian name).

Thank you Mabel Bagshawe,

He died within walking distance of all denominations of churches in Consett and was buried miles away in Lanchester!  No matter!  You have given me the information I needed.

Yes, that is definitely him.  It's a pity they don't do home addresses.  He was a blacksmith but also a publican and he is causing quite a stir locally because he was also a publican in a pub that no one has ever heard of locally and if it was in the village of Delves Lane we can't find it.

That village is now a massive housing estate but in 1860 it was only a mine and a couple of dozen houses and two or three isolated farms and settlements.

     Names often changed in Consett, e.g.  Conside, Berry Edge.    Delves Lane was known by that name at least in 1863 as my gt.gt.grandfather George Dent bequeathed his houses in Consett and Delves Lane to his widow in his will dated that year.    Even the district underwent a big change for gt.gt.gt. grandfather Richard Dent is shown as being in Stobbs Wood Head, Ebchester in 1851.  An 1860's map of Consett shows Stobbwood Head at the corner of Front Street Consett and Delves Lane - which is also named on the map and where it is today.    Ebchester began one side of Front Street Consett on this map.    As for pubs, they changed names too.  The old Station Hotel in Durham Road is now the Cricketers Arms.
