Stamfordham St. Mary's Burial Register - Click for bigger imageThis entry, extracted from the Stamfordham parish burial register, refers to Jane Johnson. Jane died on the 17th May 1798 and was buried on the 26th May 1798. Unfortunately her age has not been recorded. 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 Stamfordham parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
