Lowick St. John's Burial Register - Click for bigger imageThis entry, extracted from the Lowick parish baptism/burial register, refers to Thomas Rankin. Thomas died on the 23rd October 1803 and was buried on the 25th October 1803 aged 58 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 Lowick parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
