Chillingham St. Peter's Burial Register - Click for bigger imageThis entry, extracted from the Chillingham parish burial register, refers to Beiley Percy. Beiley died on the 22nd November 1804 and was buried on the 24th November 1804 aged 80 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 Chillingham parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
