Well done Annie, glad you found your family's plots.
Those photos look really good but I think there are an awful lot of smaller stones that don't even make it up above the vegetation! Having said that, I'm now pretty sure that my great granda is more than likely in an unmarked grave. Gary, if you do come across a Mary Sharp (d.1929) or a Luke Sharp (d.1932) then please let me know.
Thanks

I am also looking for Sharps - my grandfather was William Sharp b1913 in Durham. I have seen Luke and Mary Sharp somewhere in a churchyard. Possibly St Albans - I looked there years ago but it was before digital cameras and I have no photographs. I will check back in my old notes.
Take a look at the Durham Bishops Transcripts http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=waypoint;s=waypointsOnly;c=1309819;w=0
Select Northumberland, then Earsdon.
Enter 84 in the box marked 'image' and press the return key.
You should be able to see the marriage there.
Sadly, the only extra information here, apart from their names, is that they were both 'of this Parish'.

Hi. My family are from Seaton Sluice, in fact my father was born there and I live just along the road. I am researching Burnett's from Seaton Sluice. William Burnett born 1776 in Nafferton near Ovingham is my 4xgreat-grandfather and I assume he came to Seaton Sluice to work in the bottle works.
I too, started my family tree years ago, before computers and last year decided to dig out all my old files to get it into some order.
Good luck!

I am starting to research the Burnett family tree and have discovered William Burnett (1776-1852) is my 5 x great-grandfather. Just thought I would make contact as I discovered this website and will post more if people wish.

Hi Angela,Hi - not my William I'm afraid - he died in 1852. Interesting though. My grandfather Joseph Burnett was known to often say that he was related to everyone in Seaton Sluice.
I'm just down the road too, in Whitley Bay. Burnett isn't a name that features in my family history, but I think all the "old" families end up being tied in together at some point.
I've got a photocopy of a Petition to the Marquis of Waterford asking for permission to convert part of the old brewery into a church. It's dated 8th November 1855 and one of the signatures is "William Burnet",possibly your great great grandfather?
