How would i find out when Sarah Ellen English nee Gray died and also her husband James phillip English.

There are my grandfathers parents and he cant remember were they are buried or when they died. He does remember them being buried in Harton Cemertary in South Shields? He is in his late 80s and wants to visit the grave before he dies he says

Hope someone can help

oh thats so sad, bless him

you should be able to find out from the cemetary records,
they keep um , where the plot is,
and sometimes take you to it, they are usually very helpful

well in this area they are anyway,
i hope you find it for him

You probably need to give the date of death before they can trace the grave, at least that is what I had to do. Have you any idea of the time scale in which to look?

hi thanks for the messages

This is the problem the people in records office/council said they cant really help with out date of death and i havent a clue a bout that


The last reall record I have off her is she married on 4th Jan 1907

her last children where born c 1924 so would be after then.

I dont have the 1911 census to see if that gives anymore info
hope someone could advice x

Thanks guys

HARTON CEMETERY;-
Many of the gravestones at Harton Cemetery in South Shields, Tyne & Wear are showing signs of weathering so it was decided to produce a photographic database of the Inscriptions so that they would not be lost completely and the Inscriptions would thus be available to those researching their family history.

There are other 'English' recorded in some of the sections so worth looking I scanned very quickly.

ask the church where the cemetary is,
they keep records,

my uncle died at the age of 5 back in the 1930smaybe 40s, thinking of age now,
my daughter didnt have dates just round a bout year but went up to cemetary and asked, and a kind man there showed her too where the grave was, and it was just a small plot , no marking, nothing

Just had a second look at that page, it seeems that a Jenny English is buried in same grave ?

Thanks so much for your assistance guys

Think this may be his father as his wife was called Jenny.

However his son (my grandards dad) had the same name but his wife was sarah ellen English?

Shieldsman, that looks like the father then, may be worth going to the message board and see if anyone can help?

brilliant thanks so much guys another piece of the puzzle sorted thank you.
