Isabella was actually buried at Cowpen cemetery - 19th August - grave reference 2749.

Why can't it be that easy for George?  :-\

Morpeth churchyard is a weird one! The records that were retained were mostly unimportant stuff but the really good stuff e.g. a proper grave plan, didn't survive. I've heard whispers of a gravedigger/caretakers wife burning his papers after her husband died! So who knows where it went!

Hi Gen and Christine,

Would Morpeth cemetery likely be where people on the registers at St Robert RC might be buried?  I have quite a few ancestors whose deaths are on these.  I don't expect they would have had grave stones - they were not well off.  I would just be interested in finding out where they may be.  Could you let me know where this cemetery is please?  Is it near St Robert?

Look what I've just found online!

http://www.parishofmorpeth.org.uk/searches.htm

Two PDF downloads, one of headstones names with sections and rows and one a churchyard plan showing sections.

Doesn't help with this George HILL, the only G Hill died in 1961.  But it might help others.

Hi River Tyne Lass, Christine & Gen,

River Tyne Lass, many thanks for the two death notices, very much appreciated indeed!

Christine, Isabella Hill was indeed buried in Cowpen Cemetery, one of (if memory serves me correctly! ;D) three (I think!) family graves next to one another in the cemetery. My thanks for burial date & grave reference as I did not have those, much appreciated.

Gen, how frustrating is that, if indeed the papers have been burnt! Many thanks for the link, at least I now have a map of the cemetery, which is a start! ;D

Oh well! Its only taken me twenty eight years to find exactly where George Hill was buried, at least I now know for certain which cemetery he is in! One day I might actually find his grave! ;D Perhaps, I'll just have to take a walk around the cemetery to find it, that is if I can ever afford to travel up to Northumberland! Although I understand that the cemetery is quite a large one though!

My thanks to you all for all your help, its very much appreciated.

Kind regards

David

You are welcome David.

Your experience is no doubt one of many proving that you should never give up hope on getting an answer to family history queries. ;D
