Cornhill St. Helen's Baptism Register - Click for bigger imageThis entry, extracted from the Cornhill parish baptism register, refers to Isable Burn. Isable died on the 5th March 1802 and was buried on the 7th March 1802 aged 26 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 Cornhill parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
