Bamburgh St. Aidan's Burial Register - Click for bigger imageThis entry, extracted from the Bamburgh parish burial register, refers to Margaret Graham. Margaret died on the 22nd November 1798 and was buried on the 25th November 1798 aged 75 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 Bamburgh parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
