Cemetery - Blyth or Cowpen?

Yes, thinking about it I have also seen plenty of those death notices with no mention of a cemetery.
Perhaps word got out literally more by word of mouth back in the day?

As an aside, Did you know that Whitley Bay actually got it's name after an incident with a funeral mix up.  Apparently, the deceased was sent on train to Whitby instead of St Paul, Whitley.  Later people were asked via newspaper to vote on a new name for Whitley and Whitley Bay was chosen.

Yes, I did know that about Whitley/Whitley Bay. There are a couple of display panels at Whitley Bay Metro station, with some interesting facts and photos. One of them includes the story of the funeral mix-up!

The term 'New Whitley' was also used at one time... I have some relatives who were baptised in the mid-1800s, where the Christ Church records give New Whitley as the place of abode.

I remember in the early 1990s coming across a family document referring to a wedding at Chester. Not many records on the internet n those days but couldn't find any mention of the wedding in Chester. After throwing in a couple of wild cards in my search criteria, I found that the wedding had taken place in Chester le Street County Durham. On my next trip to the Durham Archives, a member of staff told me that I wasn't the first to be caught out with this!

If you scroll down there are separate superintendents for Cowpen and Newsham Blyth Cemeteries.

I can’t see what year this is.
