Hi

Info received from Durhamrecordsonline shows that a number of my rellies, both paternal & maternal, are buried in the above - if anybody is in the vicinity transcriptions would be appreciated.
Names interested in:-

Burrell       - Emily  buried 23/4/1948
                 - James Isaac Turnbull buried 23/7/1958
                 - Frank Whinfield buried 19/11/1908
                 - Frank Whinfield    "       27/3/1913

Adamson  - Cuthbert buried 12/3/1960
                 - Margaret    "      30/10/1940 - wife of Cuthbert
                 - Cuthbert buried 17/11/1973
                 - Joseph       "       27/7/1936 

If there are any other Burrell between 1900 and 1960 or Adamson between 1920 and 1975 I wouldn't mind these too. Hopefully I haven't asked for too much!!  :-[

Thank you in advance
Judith  :)

This is the information I have been able to collect with the extremely helpful assistance of the staff at Princess Road Cemetery.
The following graves have no headstone but this information is in the burial register.

James Isaac Turnbull Burrell age 61 years, Labourer, 23-07-1958

Grave 309

Irene Sybil Burrell age 10 years, 24-08-1913

Grave 2455

These next two have headstones. This is the information in the burial register

Grave 1871

In loving memory of Margaret Ann dearly loved wife of Cuthbert Adamson died Oct 27th 1940 age 72 years
also Cuthbert dearly loved husband of the above died March 9th 1960 age 93 years. Thy Will Be Done.

Headstone inscription for grave 6136

also the above Cuthbert died 14th Nov 1973 age 75 years
and the above Elsie died 16th Oct 1995 age 92 years. Thy Will Be Done.

I have a photo of the headstone on grave 6136 but the image is above the  attachment limit of 500 KB. If you want it please PM me your e-mail address and I can send it to you. I was unable to get a clear image of Headstone 1871.

Hope this is helpful. Best regards, Yvonne

Is there a register for this cemetery or a map showing showing dates for burials or at least showing which section is for CofE.  Looking for James Jones b 1840 d1901 I got this info from Durham Records Online

Cemetery Registers, Easington District - Record Number: 76442.12
Location: Seaham, County Durham
Cemetery: Princess Road Cemetery
Denomination: any
23 Oct 1901 James Jones, age: 61, wagonwright


Thanks for any Help.  David in Canada :)

I've just looked on Family Search, and they do have some monumental inscriptions
https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/28887?availability=Family%20History%20Library

They are only viewable from a Family History Centre, but I'll be going to my nearest one next week.
Not definite that he had a headstone, but if you don't have an FHC near you I can have a look to see if I can find anything.
