Cramlington - St Nicholas burial 1904 - Ralph Waugh

[hatofthecat]

My great grandfather Ralph Waugh was killed in a coal fall at Seghill colliery 11th April 1904.  In death announcement in Newcastle Evening Chronicle of 13th April 1904 it says simply "Interment at Cramlington on Thursday" - so 14th April 1904 - Am I right in assuming this would have been at St Nicholas cemetery, as the Mayfield cemetery had not yet opened then ?  Would anyone be able do a look up at Woodhorn for the burial info as the records don't appear to online anywhere and are only accessible at the archive.  I doubt there is any kind of headstone as the Coal Owners Mutual Protection paid out just £6 for funeral costs 6 months later.

Thanks ColC, good old FREEREG  Still wondering may be just a little more detail from register (i.e. plot no. ??).  Yes, I've every last bit of info on the accident (newspaper reports, mine inspectors report and entries from the Coal Owners ledgers for funeral payment).  Unfortunately my late uncle always thought Ralph was buried at Earsdon so spent years on goose chase there, but more recently I found the death announcement in newspaper (hadn't found it before as image text is faint so it didn't get indexed properly for searching).
