Title: Shiney Row death in 1915
Post by: heathers on Sunday 21 November 21 15:22 GMT (UK)
Thomas Bell died 15 June 1915 at Shiney Row.  Can anyone suggest where he may be buried?

He could be at Houghton le Spring. This link to Houghton Heritage society may help. There is a Thomas Bell and a Thomas Walker Bell and a John Thomas Bell listed, but you can’t search any further without making a donation to the society and they’ll then search for free to check if they are your entry. Anyway have a look at the link.

This cemetery is a little nearer shiney row than Houghton hillside https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2583853/st-cuthbert's-churchyard. A possibility.

Many thanks for all your replies, especially those with the answer & links.
I didnt realise that the sunderlandward website contained so many parishes.  I can check out other family members now.
