This entry, extracted from the Newbiggin parish burial register, refers to Margaret Taylor. Margaret died on the 14th October 1797 and was buried on the 16th October 1797 aged 95 years.
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 Newbiggin-by-the-Sea parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
