Burials, Hartlepool District - Record Number: 654191.2 (Durham Records Online)
Location: Greatham
Church: St. John the Baptist
Denomination: Anglican
27 Sep 1902 Sarah Jane Stainthorp, of Greatham, age: 73, plot B19A

Her death certificate lists her cause of death as carcinoma, hepatis. J. G. Armstrong, son-in-law, is present at her death. Her husband is listed as John Willliam Stainthorp, tailor, (master) (retired). She was 67 years old. Her death was 24 Sept 1902. [Note: discrepancy between ages of death certificate and the burial record I found. One says 67; the other 73. Not sure if burial record is hers, but fits the area and the death date]

There is a headstone at St John the Baptist, Greatham,  in the actual churchyard, that lists Sarah Jane Stainthorp and her husband, John William Stainthorp.
Do they fit? other than age?

And is it possible to find a will for James Robson or Sophia Strugnell? would it be worth the time spent?
Kathy

And Sarah Jane's birth would be too earrly to have a birth record of, isn't that correct? but possibly a baptismal record would exist?
This has been quite helpful.

Hi,
I am looking for advice on where to find Sarah Jane Robson's parents. She appears to have been born in Stockton, according to the 1861 Greatham census where she lives with her grandfather, James Robson.Also in the 1881 census, her birth place is listed as Stockton. Her marriage license to John William Stainthorp lists no father, although John's father is listed. Her grandfather was a coastguard man, so thought maybe his son was of the sea also. Her grandfather lists her as his beneficiary. Would his will list whether he had children or other grandchildren? I have found her death certificate, which lists her age as 67 in 1902. The burial I found lists her age as 73 for a burial 3 days later at St. John's in Greatham so may not be her burial record, I understand. I do believe she was buried at St Johns as I found a headstone there that had her name and the name of her husband,while we were on vacation there.  I found a baptismal record that is close for 1841 but that age would be a bit off and also states she was born in Tynemouth. Any suggestions or ideas that may help? I am just stuck.
Thanks,
Kathy
