Needing Help

Posted by Margaret McD on March 15, 2021, 21:07:18

Young man’s home address was Hebburn, died in 1948 in Hebburn and isn’t buried in Hebburn or Jarrow. Any suggestions?

Could have been a wish to be Buried/Cremated at a friends/relatives home town. I'm sure its been done before.

Thank you Brian for the suggestion. My research shows that South Tyneside crematorium didn't exist until 1961 and others about that date. Your suggestion John would mean that I have to trace his grandparents because he predeceased his own parents. Upwards and onwards

My Grandparents were Cremated out at the west end of Newcastle 1959/60. How long that Crem was in use ?

My Grandad Jackson died in 1956 he’s not in Hebburn Cemetery so maybe he was cremated at Newcastle.

Could still have been buried at sea no matter where he actually died !
