Church Bank & St Peters Wallsend burials

[Lisa8thompson]

Hi, can anyone please suggest where I can look for burial records for Wallsend St Peters and Church Bank?

I'm looking for William Thompson and Sarah Thompson.

Sarah died before the 1901 census
Her last child was born and died in 1897.. I've no trace after that.

Thanks x

I should mentioned I think there are two Sarah and William Thompsons in same area and same time..

Tyne and Wear Archives will have both St Peter's and Church Bank records.

For Church Bank it might be easier to search at North Shields library as they have huge burial books that you can flick through by year first to find out who was buried then.  These books also give entry number - once found the full record can be looked up on microfilm.

Thanks RTL I will have a look at doing this

There is a Sarah Thompson of Wallsend  on this website who has an Evening Chronicle death notice.  Might she be your ancestor?  Edition 18 March 1901.  Age 42.

Ah yes the dates would match up as she was born abt 1859!thank you

Newcastle Evening Chronicle 18th March 1901

Thompson - Wallsend, 17 Clyde Street, suddenly on 16th March, aged 42 years, Sarah, dearly beloved wife of William Thompson. To be interred on Tuesday 3 o'clock. All friends kindly invited.

Inconveniently for you they don't say where she was going to be interred!

But not at St Peter's as Durham Records Online have their burial records up to 1921, and there are no result for a Sarah Thompson. So possible at Church Bank?

Thank you so much for this!
And Clyde Street is where they lived so this is the one!
Hugely appreciate, thank you x
