Warkworth St. Lawrence's Burial Register - Click for bigger imageThis entry, extracted from the Warkworth parish burial register, which included Amble, refers to William Langley. William died on the 19th December 1799 and was buried on the 22nd December aged 27 years. His occupation was listed as Husbandman. 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 Warkworth parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
