Burial of John Finlay

[JosiahS]

Hello Sandy

Welcome to Rootchat!

Yes we are talking about the same John Finlay - his wife was Hannah Fenwick of Chester-le-Street.  He was in fact a farmer - this was marked on the baptism of his last child, Jane in 1799.  Also his wife stayed put as she was buried 13 Mar 1832 in Whickham (where many of her family were living by that time)

I've been through all of the local parishes as well as those across the Tyne but with no luck at all - maybe he jumped in the river?!

Any assistance you can give me would be much appreciated.

All the best

Ashley
