Northumberland / Belford and surrounding area records?
« on: Wednesday 08 August 18 21:04 BST (UK)  »
I'm wondering where the best place is to find birth, marriages and deaths for Belford and the surrounding area.

I'm relooking at my Ray family from the Belford/Bamburgh/Detchant/Warenford area and not managing to find many family records.

Freereg only has a total of 6 records for Belford with the the Ray family, all burials.

I'm drawing a blank on the GRO index too, but I am coming up with Berwick (is this a possibility) for Belford.

Also not many Ray's to be found on Findmypast too.

This Ray family is a long standing mystery, I'd be grateful for any pointers on where to source records.

Thank you both.

Does anyone know where the records are kept for this?  Also what information can be found in the records? I have a suspicion my 3 x G Grandfather was admitted here in 1879 but with a common name it's difficult to determine from the admission register alone if it's him.

Just this minute checked it out and realised it was only there for one month, such a shame as it was really interesting and poignant but it's important that those stories are told everywhere so I can understand why the exhibit is no longer there.  I shall count my blessings that I happened to encounter it quite by chance and was humbled by it.

My husband showed me a post on Facebook about the exhibit outside the Theatre Royal it looks impressive and quite a clever vantage point to have it place in.  It seems the perfect place to gain the most attention.

Hopefully I will get to see this before it goes and pay a little tribute too.

There was also a really good display outside Central Station recently telling the story of World War 1.  Not sure if it's still there but it was in the summer, a sort of walk through information boards set up.

As reported in the 'Evening Chronicle' Thursday 16th March 1945:

Death during Blyth operation

The death from heart failure, due to the effects of anaesthetic; properly administered, while he was undergoing a surgical operation at Blyth Knight Memorial Hospital, was the verdict at an inquest today on James Albert Hopkins (49), engineer, 41 Hunter Avenue, Blyth.

Dr Phyllis Mary Hanson said no evidence of heart weakness was revealed by the examination which preceded the operation and heart failure occurred suddenly when the operation was practically completed.



I couldn't find anything else for the other 2 names you gave on Findmypast newspaper archives.

Do you want me to post the inquest findings on here for you?

Searching through Findmypast newspaper articles there is a report into the inquest findings regarding the death of James Albert Hopkins, Blyth, 1945. Is this the right one?

So far I've only come across it on an Ancestry Hint where there are just a standard few lines on the National Probate Register.  He was just a young man aged 30 and as far as I can tell wasn't married and didn't have children.
