Earsdon St. Alban's Burial Register - Click for bigger imageThis entry, extracted from the Earsdon parish burial register, which included Seaton Delaval, refers to "A child of John Stories sons buried at Seaton Delaval 12th June 1603". 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 Earsdon parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
