Chatton Holy Cross Burial Register - Click for bigger imageThis entry, extracted from the Chatton parish burial register, refers to Isobel Charters. Isobel died on the 10th February 1809 and was buried on the 13th February 1809 aged 77 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 Chatton parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
