Durham Records Online update

The following have been added to Durham Records Online (www.durhamrecordsonline.com):

Gateshead East Cemetery burials 1893-1896
6,566 burials at Gateshead East Cemetery, covering 1893-1896.

Besides many street addresses in Gateshead, residences mentioned include Bensham, Carr’s Hill, Cumberland Street Mission House, Deptford House, Felling, Felling Gate, Felling Shore, Friars Goose, Greengates, High Teams, Mount Greenwich, Mount Pleasant, New Gateshead, Newcastle, Old Engine, Old Fold, Redheugh, Salt Meadows, Shipcote, South Shore, Teams, Tyne Main Colliery, and Wind Mill Hills.

Because these are municipal cemetery records, not church burial records, they present many more genealogically useful details. 99% of these records give either an occupation, a parent or husband’s name, or information about how the person died.
