West Sleekburn is in Northumberland- you will need to contact Northumberland Archives, not Tyne & Wear

need I've e-mailed them to see if the do lookup requests failing that it might be able to visit the

Hi folk's despite a warning that due to the workload it may take up to 20 days to answer my request
an hour later they confirmed the records were available and a visit possible without booking during
normal hours excellent service and I plan to visit then drive the short distance to the churchyard the
only worry is having got the plot number can I locate it in the cemetery!
