Help please
« on: Thursday 18 April 24 21:01 BST (UK) »
Hi.
I am trying to find a grave of my GG GRANDFATHER.
His name was Edward Emerson Callander.. he was a doctor
He was born in Ovingham Northumberland 1820
And died 1869.. it just says Gateshead
I've been on a few cemetry sites looking and find a grave type websites, but found nothing.
If anyone can help I'd much appreciate it
Thank you
Debbie

Have you considered buying a Digital Image of his death cert from the GRO, cost £2.50.
The death cert would have the place where he died.

Might be worth trying newspapers from the area - they often carried long accounts of funerals

I found this death notice which may help to narrow it down since Winlaton was in its own parish to the west of Gateshead proper.

Newcastle Guardian and Tyne Mercury, 13th February, 1869

This seems to be his baptism, but not in Ovingham.

January 2nd 1820, Ryton
Edward Emerson, son of
John & Amelia Hannah Calender
abode: Greenside
father's occupation: surgeon

Greenside is to the south of Ryton and 3-4 miles west of his place of death (Winlaton). Ovingham is about 5 miles west of Greenside, and north of the Tyne.

He was also living in Winlaton in 1861, so I should think the likelihood of burial there is fairly strong.

Added: his widow was still there in 1871

Thank you so much for the replies! I will  look at obtaining some death certificates and look at Winlaton area.
Thanks again for your help

A death certificate won’t give you his burial place.
You really need a parish register look up. I can’t see that the Winlaton registers for that time are available online.
