hi thanks for that, sorry i havent god back to you sooner i've been off line due to moving. do you have any suggestions as to where else he cold be buried closest place i can think of is the big church at south church
-
Julie he may still of been buried at Eldon just that he doesn't have a headstone or its been removed.
Do you mean Rosemount Road Cemetery? I don't think that was open in 1916.
The burial register for Eldon for 1916 is held at Durham Archives, you could contact them & ask them to check it out, tho not having his death date they will charge a search fee. If you have the date they may check it out for free.
Good luck

I have access to the burial records held by St Mark's Church Eldon (some records are only available at Durham Records Office since they were filed before photocopying was available). I also have scanned 2 account books of Mr Clark a local Funeral director from about 1912-1930.
Unfortunatley these can only be searched visually.
I also have a photo and document archive for Eldon.
Are you still looking ?

hiya yes i;m still looking havent been able to find him, i havent checked at durham as i'm rubbish at driving places i dont know and the fees to look were too expensive.
-
I don't recollect Huntrods in any local data.
He was not in the area in 1901 or 1911 census.
Although he died in Auckland reg district he may have been buried in Guisborough his home town? Bodies were regularly transported back to the family church.

St Mark's Burial records held at the Church don't contain any Huntrods.
Hunt and Hunter do occur but not in the right period.

I'm not sure what site you been looking at but the only fees at Durham Record Office are for printouts & photocopies. It's free to park, free to enter & there's no fees to look at the records yourself.

no i mean the fees for them to look for me, i wouldnt know how to get ti durhamj if i tried and hate driving places i dont know, i ran g and asked them to do a search form me but they said something like £20 for ther search then £3;00 per photocopy plus postage, because i cant be specific and know exactly where he is buried, bit ironic when i'm trying to get them to find that info for me, if i knew where he was buried i wouldnt have asked them.

Hiya, yes I'm still looking, anything to do with the huntrods or park familys (park was his wifes maiden name) anything would be brilliant as I seem to have hit a brick wall. Thankyou

I have Old (1926) photos of the war memorial, rededication ones 1956 and recent ones. I haven't taken photos of the gravestones but if I can find the right ones it would be easy for me to get them.

Colin, that would be fantastic, the headstone is a Standard CWGC headstone. Here are the casualty details
ELDON (ST. MARK) CHURCHYARD
SHUTTLEWORTH. GEORGE ALBERT, 3649492 - Grave D.363.
The son of John Foster and Lucy and husband of Eliza Shuttleworth, of Coundon Grange, Durham, Private Shuttlworth originally enlisted with the South Lancashire Regiment before being posted to the Durham Light Infantry, where he served with the 6th Battalion. Despite his age, it is possible that Private Shuttleworth, saw action in North Africa, Sicily and North West Europe, before returning to the UK. Private Shuttleworth died in the UK whilst on active service on the 18th June 1947 aged 47, possibly as a result of wounds sustained.
