Bamburgh St. Aidan's Burial Register - Click for bigger imageThis entry, extracted from the Bamburgh parish burial register, which included Seahouses, refers to Jane Creymer. Jane died on the 1st April 1801 and was buried on the 3rd April 1801 aged 11 months. She was the daughter of Thos. [Thomas] Creymer Jnr. and Martha his wife of Sunderland. Thomas was a Seamen by profession. 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 Bamburgh parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
