Durham Lookup Requests / Re: Bell family County Durham

So it is a Thomas Bell death you are looking for and not a Robert.
Well, if you are in no immediate hurry I could check St Alban's, Earsdon in the next couple of weeks but as soon as able to and you can see if it might be worth ordering a digital image based on any info that might be found. The 1840's entries sometimes gave good details.
Let me know what you decide and if you think this look up is worth doing or not.  If you don't respond, I will assume that this look up is not required.

You are welcome, Jonwarrn. I am happy to be able to try to help out as you do. :)

Petey, perhaps hang fire with ordering the cert, just yet.
If this Robert you are after died in Seaton Delaval in 1841, he may have a St Alban's, Earsdon burial. 
I have shifts coming up but I could check this out for you soon if you would like me to.  Probably, at some point in next two weeks but as soon as I am able.
The burial entries around this time were sometimes a bit more informative than later years, although no guarantee.

By the way, there is St Albans volume of baptisms at the
Local Studies which lists a Robert Bell baptised 1835 but
I think this one had a Father called John.  Mother's name also recorded but I would have to check again to be quite sure on both parents' names.  I don't think it was Thomas.
I think there were a couple of other Roberts too in this slim volume which covers the years 1833-1836.

Here is the marriage mentioned by Jonwarrn as a 'possible' in post 49.  Unfortunately, both witnesses appear to have been serial signers at the Church rather than family members.

Thanks, for your kind words of appreciation, Jen.  :) Hopefully, now that RootsChat has been fixed after the database error, Jacob will revisit this thread and notice that the full entry and plot number has been found for him.

Hi Jacob,
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/271627685/elizabeth-hazard

I have looked up the full burial record and have added this to the memorial on Find A Grave.  As this is your ancestor do let me know if you would like me to transfer this memorial to you – I am happy either way.

Entry 973
Elizabeth Hazard
Female
Age 75
Widow
Died at 'Morpeth Asylum
from Tynemouth'
Ceremony by R S? Holmes
Burial 26 Dec
Plot 9390 consecrated


https://www.northtyneside.gov.uk/births-deaths-and-marriages/death-and-bereavement

I would email Bereavement services with this info (you will find their email address) via this link and they will likely be able to let you know which section Elizabeth was buried in.

If she had died in the Workhouse, I would say the chances of a stone memorial would be slim but in my experience I have known of people who died at the County Asylum who did have memorials.
Even if Elizabeth is in an unmarked plot, possibly the people at the burial office may temporarily mark the spot for free.  Then if you wanted to you could put a photo request up on Find a Grave.
