Tweedmouth St. Batholomew's Burial Register - Click for bigger imageThis entry, extracted from the Tweedmouth parish burial register, which included East Ord, refers to Isabella Hay. Isabella died on the 19th November 1812 and was buried on the 22nd November 1812 aged 27 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 Tweedmouth parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
