Haltwhistle Holy Cross Burial Register - Click for bigger imageThis entry, extracted from the Haltwhistle parish burial register, which includes Greenhead, refers to John Graham. John died on the 6th August 1802 and was buried the next day aged only 4 days. When a person is buried an entry is made in the burial register. Of particular interest are the burial registers of the period 1798-1812. These are known as Bishop Barrington registers. Shute Barrington, Bishop of Durham, ordered that additional information should be recorded, for example, a person's age and occupation when they died. Burial registers of Haltwhistle parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
