This entry, extracted from the Bothal parish burial register, which included Ashington, refers to Jane Douglass. Jane was buried on the 4th February 1784. She was the daughter of William and Margery Douglass of Ashington.
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.
