Ford St. Michael's Burial Register - Click for bigger imageThis entry, extracted from the Ford parish burial register, which includes Etal, refers to Ann Parke. Ann died on the 18th May 1798 and was buried on the 19th May 1798 aged 3 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 Ford parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
