This entry, extracted from the Bothal parish burial register, refers to Mary Johnson. Mary died on the 15th January 1799 and was buried on the 17th January 1799 aged 60 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 Bothal parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
