I have a list of patients who are buried at the hospital cemetery...if you let me know the surname i can tell you if they are there.

My Grandfathers surname was Robinson and he died in February 1966 and Winterton House is listed as the place of his death.  Could you please let me know, from your list, if he was interred at the hospital cemetery?
Thank you

sorry also not on the list

Hi Janet
Sorry there is no one of that name in the list.
Have you tried Durham County Hall burial records.
I do know there is a part of Sedgefield Village Cemetery where patients from  Winterton were also buried..if you click on link and scroll down to the part called short history!

Many thanks for your help. I suspect she returned to South Moor to be buried which was where her family lived. I emailed Durham County Records Office on Saturday and had reply this morning (what service!). I can request to view her case notes from the NHS Trust archivist apparently which I have just done and hope to get more information from there.

Many thanks again for your prompt reply
Janet
