There's two possible deaths for John Burnett, one in 1863 and one in 1866 both Gateshead registration district which includes Heworth.

Well now you have the question, was William a Burnett or a Stephenson?   
I think Stephenson.

Thomas b 1889/1890 isn't there.  Now I look again he wasn't there in 1901 either.  Think he may have died 1893 Gateshead, aged 3.
