Kirknewton St. Gregory's Burial Register - Click for bigger imageThis entry, extracted from the Kirknewton parish burial register, refers to John Hogarth. John died on the 1st February 1802 and was buried on the 5th February 1802 aged 62 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 Kirknewton parish are deposited with Northumberland Archives Service.
