How do you find a final resting place?

[Tickettyboo]

Boo, regarding post 3 - if you ever need a look up for a North Tyneside burial just let me know - if you have the rough date and know area where they lived it shouldn't be too difficult for me to find for you for FREE!

Thank you RTL, I do have someone else who has offered though so will wait to see what that turns up.
So far no notice in local papers to give me a clue (though there is a very informative obit for the man in the Shetland Papers).

Okay, I happen to be at this library now (North Shields) so could have looked up for you immediately.  However, I understand that you have already got someone else on the job.

[River Tyne Lass]

I believe I have found both the people you are after in the huge tomes at the library, Boo.  I am now going to look up full details on microfilm and will send likewise by pm within the next several minutes.

[River Tyne Lass]

Hopefully, you will have both records now Boo!

I would have put on here but thought these must have been private as you sent by pm.  I am now off to a party but feel free to share of you wish.

Once I realised you were actually AT the library, I sent it by PM for quickness.

Thank you so much for looking and finding these for me, as ever I am extremely grateful for your time and willingness to help.

I'll put the details here so its recorded and can be found in the future by searching.

Hi Boo,
Hopefully, you will find this a nice surprise.
I nipped along to the Whitley Bay Cemetery today after Church as I had a bit of time.  It was easy to find John's grave in section G - he has the biggest gravestone in the section! 

The grave is in the first row.  I have taken several photos (with my Kindle) for you if you wish to have these.  Perhaps you could send your email by pm?  I totally understand if you don't wish to give this out, however, so don't feel obliged.  If you do want the photos I will send tomorrow when I next get time to go on-line.

This is the inscription:
