Title: James & Florence Scott
Post by: mackemyank on Sunday 14 October 12 16:03 BST (UK)

I am trying to locate my great grandparents dates of birth and death.  His name was James Scott and heres was Florence Scott nee Hall.   I believe they both died around the late 1920's-early 1930's and are both buried in St Cuthberts churchyard in Newbottle.  Any info would be most appreciated...
