Carr Shield Parish Burial Register - Click for bigger imageThis entry, extracted from the Carr Shield parish burial register, refers to John Walton. John was buried on the 15th July 1823 aged 83 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 Carr Shield parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
