This entry, extracted from the Earssdon parish burial register, which included Seaton Sluice, refers to Christopher Mustard. Christopher died on the 25th February 1798 and was buried the next day aged only 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 Easrdon parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
