I have a burial for 1832, in what  looks like Clattering Cause??, Northumbria.

The first word is clearly Clattering but  the 2nd word is not so clear to read.

Could anyone tell me where this might be, close to what town now.

Couldn't find any references by googling at first- then tried Ancestry- luckily a couple of people say they were born there---Clattering Causey. This still didn't help - then got this: Clattering Causeway which from this reference

seems to be in Bamborough Parish.

Heywood,

That is great thank you so much, I wonder how far from the Boarder of Scotland  this is.

Thank You again
Christine

Hi, Bamburgh is only about 15 or so miles from the Bordersof Scotland. If you google Bamburgh youwill find loads of info . Good luck  Dolly

An address search of the 1841 census for Bamburgh Parish reveals a place in Newstead township called 'Clattery'.

I can't find it on the old maps, but it was somewhere in the position marked by the arrow in the centre of this map http://www.rootschat.com/links/02vw/

On C1851 John's birth place was recorded as Rosebrough.

Today Rosebrough lies a few yards west of the A1 road, south of Belford.  Adjacent on the east side of the A1 is Newstead.

In "ancient parish" times  Rosebrough lay within the "township" of Newstead, within the Parish of Bamburgh.

On the Northumberland Communities web site (communities.northumberland.gov.uk), within the section for Belford, in the "Plans",  the Fry's Map of 1820 shows Rosebrough and Newstead. And then at the very bottom of the map there lurks the word "Clattering" and maybe the hint of another word beneath it.

Other maps show "Clatteringhouses" (one word) to be in this area.

Christine ... was the burial at some parish church graveyard... with Clattering Causey recorded as the last abode of the deceased ?

Hi Michael

I have been helping Christine with her research.  The information came from a fiche that I found stating deaths in Northumbria between 1813 and 1837.

I have now been able to read it properly.  It is Clattering Causey.  Down the left side beside the date it says LUC but not sure what that means.  There are no headings.

I also see the age is 92 which rules out the person we thought it might be but it would still be interesting to pin down where Clattering Causey is.

When I googled it it came up with a list of names that indicated that there was a Clattering Causeway at Newstead, Bamburgh, which will be the one you found.  Through time the name maybe changed.

Thanks for your time

Betty,

I think LUC is abbreviation for LUCKER.

Lucker, a small community lay within the widespread  parish of Bamburgh.

To save folk's shoe leather, a chapel was buit in Lucker, so then Lucker became a Chapelry under the sway of Bamburgh the mother parish.

Newstead and I suppose C Causey, lay within the bounds of the Chapelry of Lucker. And I think that modern transcribers use three-letter abbreviations for parishes/chapelries.

Thanks Michael for that bit of information.  I might get back to you to ask what the other abreviations are but I need to look at the fiche again as I did not take a note of them. A lot of the place names I have heard of but some not.

I am curious as to where you got the name John from.  It is the right name but he died in 1832.  Does C1851 mean census or circa?


Thanks for your time.
