re Nichols Raine
The photograph is certainly the ld church at Escomb bu it is quite possible tha the writing on the back is incorrect.  They were probably maried there in 1845 but buy the time he died in 1898 were living in Elswick.  He was a big Methodist and I have a copy of a eulogy from the Elswick Road Wesleyan Church so it is quite possible he was not in fact burried in Escombe.  He wa a director of the Iron works at Witton Park and his sons went on to found Raine and Co iron and steel.

Thanks again

Hi Adam

Can I ask what you are referring to St John's Church & municipal cemetery as?

St John's Church was at High Escomb, opposite the vicarage.  The church was long since demolished, the grounds now classed as the 'cemetery'.

The Saxon Church is in Escomb Village.

Hello Jay. The St Johns church that I am referring to is the Saxon church in Escomb.

Hello Adam,    Thank you for reply #1on 30th Sept. (Durham look up requests) I hope I am now on the correct thread and apologise for any inconvenience .  Additional information for Thomas Maughan who died 1922 is  " Escomb Church burial reg. #18 "
I realise 1922 is probably too late for burial at Escomb church, but is it possible to check if #18 is a family grave ?
Many thanks   Gerry.
