Find Ancestors

Lynn, although I went to school there I didn't live in the immediate area (I was about 20 miles away).

The cemetery is close to the General Hospital and is also sometimes known as Fenham cemetery. There are photos on this link:

Best thing is to ring that number - I don't know if it puts you straight through to the cemetery or the appropriate council department.

Which was your Aunt's school?

Thanks for your help with the address and phone number. Is it a big cemetery i.e. would it be easy to find a grave or would my Aunt need help finding the grave once she has the number. Do you know if the area well, my Aunt went to school there in the 1930's the school was near to the Barracks which I'm guessing must be close to the cemetary.

I would love to find out more.

I used to go to school next to that cemetery, wouldn't expect it to come under Durham?

the other site is Gravestone Photographic Resource....

LYNN.. have had a look at st nicholas cemetary.. cant find a list of names.. but i have a website DURHAM COUNTY CEMETARY RECORDS, it lists the cemetarys in the area but no st nicholas.. you have to look at each one to find the names.. it takes time but is interesting... i did find another site where you type in the name but there was lots of james richards but not your one....i have been to the newcastle council a couple of years ago and they were very helpful with assisting me with my nans birth cert so email them and see how you go... :-D

Kim

Lynn.. i have the newcastle cemetaries on my favourites... i will have a look for you if i can get into my favourites... my computer is mucking up.....

Hi Joan

I will trying emailing the local council and find out if the cemetary is manned.

Thanks

Lynn

Many cemeteries hold their own burial records! if the cemetery is manned you could email / phone & ask if they will do the search for you,they may make a charge for doing this some do some don't & costs can vary.
Or you could ask via the relevant local council if they will check the cemetery burial records for you,they usually charge.

There will probably be plans showing grave positions as well & cemetery staff should be able to find the grave (private or public,if he's there) even without a headstone!

I am trying to find the grave of James Kimberley Richards who died 28/1/1938 in Newcastle. I understand he is buried at St Nicholas Cemetary, Newcastle. I live to far away to search the records at Newcastle myself. Could somebody help to search or know if the records on online somewhere. I am asking this on behalf of his daughter who would like to visit his grave.

Thank you for any help or advice.
