John Dodds died (aged 66) in September 1914 and is buried in Holy Trinity Churchyard at Seghill. His wife Margaret, who died later, is buried with him. I have a document reference number for the Northumberland Archive (EP143/A/23) for burials and wonder if anyone would be so kind as to trace where and when Margaret died. She was born in Tudhoe in 1865 and her maiden name was Margaret Robison. John was killed in a farming accident in 1914 and the family were forced to leave their home as he was a tennant farmer. The older children went into service and the younger ones were sent to "a children's home". Any help will be very much appreciated as this has been my "brick wall" for some years and I have spent many hours trying to find a registration of her death.

hi as Diddy said over on the Northumberland board, do you know if there is a gravestone in Seghill churchyard for them.If there is it will probably have on the death dates then you could send for the death certificate.
