Corbridge St. Andrew's Burial Register - Click for bigger imageThis entry, extracted from the Corbridge parish burial register, refers to Margaret Robson. Margaret died on the 14th January 1807 and was buried on the 16th January 1807 aged 1 month. 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 Corbridge parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
