Warkworth St. Lawrence's Burial Register - Click for bigger imageThis entry, extracted from the Warkworth parish burial register, refers to Thomas Gordon. Thomas died on the 16th August 1801 and was buried on the 18th August 1801 aged 23 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 Warkworth parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
