Hi all,
I am trying to locate the burial place of my 3x gt grandparents Francis & Ann Jane Spink (Nee' Stephenson).
Francis Spink (1822-1894) died on 24th Sept 1894 at 52, Aldborough Street, Waterloo, Blyth. I have found the following newspaper announcement regarding both his death & burial:
Blyth Bi-Weekly News & Wansbeck Telegraph, Tuesday 25th Sept 1894.
Waterloo, 52 Aldborough Street, on the 24th
inst. Francis Spink, aged 73 years.
To be interred Thursday at Blyth
Cemetery. Lift at 2 o'clock. Friends
please accept this (the only) intimation.
I have as yet to locate a burial record for Francis, although from the above newspaper report the burial may have taken place on Thursday 27th Sept 1894.
Anne Jane Spink (1821-1896) died on 25th March 1896, at I think Folly Road, Blyth (now Park Road), I don't have the death certs to hand at present.She definitely died in Blyth though. I have been unable to locate either a burial record or a mention in the local newspapers regarding her death.
Which cemetery was/is Blyth Cemetery? I am only aware of Blyth Links Cemetery & Cowpen Cemetery, is there another or is it one of those two?
Many thanks in advance
Kind regards
David
