This entry, extracted from the St. John Lee parish burial register, refers to Joseph Potts of Acomb. Joseph was buried on the 19th June 1798. Unfortunatley no other information has been recorded.
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 St. John Lee parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
