St Alban's, Earsdon - can't find burials

[micksharp]

Hello everyone

I've been  trying to locate the graves of my paternal great grandparents, Luke and Mary Sharp and Hugh and Hannah Millar. Both sets of great grandparents lived in Shiremoor,  Northumberland.
Mary died in 1928, Luke in 1932, Hugh in 1943, and Hannah in 1954 (I think!).

The obvious place for them to be buried would be in St Alban's, Earsdon. One of my nana's sisters actually related the story of Hugh's burial and had a rough idea of where he was buried at St Alban's.

Unfortunately, I can't find burial records for any of my paternal great grandparents in St Alban's. There is nothing in the church registers or indexes.

As this is both sets of great grandparents, I find this very strange. Could they be buried elsewhere in the area. Preston Cemetery, or Whitley Bay?

Thank you, Mick

Try St John Backworth,the next time you visit the library,

Would they have been cremated,

Thanks Radcliff, never thought about St John's!

As for cremations -not sure when they started at Whitley Bay but I think later than 1929? Don't know!

Thank you
