Cemetery/ Churchyard Burnopfield area ?

[Tickettyboo]

I have a copy of a death announcement in the Newcastle Evening Chronicle , dated 15th July 1905.
 it reads:

Saturday July 15th 1905 page 2

GILLILAND -- Hobson, Burnopfield, died July 13th.  Mary E.
(Minnie) Gilliland wife of Jas. Gilliland.  Interment at
Leazes on Sunday.  Service in the Chapel at 3.


I had previously got a transcription ( done by NDFHS) of a burial record for this lady, but that says she was buried on 11th July at Burnopfield ( that date seems a tad previous to me!)

Could anyone advise where this cemetery was likely to be? I think it may have been a churchyard but don't know which church.

Thanks
Boo

There is what the map calls a Grave Yard on the north side of the B6310 road at Leazes travelling westwards towards High Friarside. A Church/Chapel is opposite the Grave Yard on the south side of B6310.

Hi Boo
I would think it would be St James. Leazes is part of Burnopfield. You can see an old map at this link.

If you click on the search tab and enter the postcode NE16 6JE it should bring up a modern day map.
From the select map drop down box choose the 1951-1959 map (that is the best image) the church and graveyard are just to the north.

Just to add there is a burial for a Mary Gilliland 11th July 1905, no age listed, at St James Burnopfield. Could this be her?
Entry is listed in the NBI.

Thanks, both for the info and for taking the time to help :-)
Will look at that.

Thank you, that map place is great :-)  I think I have been there before but had forgotten about it. I think that the entry in the NBI 'is' her, but am confused ( often!) about the date.  I have a friend in the UK who is planning a visit to Durham Records Office, now I know which church it is I will ask him to look at the parish register for me.

Mary Gilliand died Thursday 13 July 1905
Death Announcement Saturday 15 July
Burial Service Sunday 16 July

11 July is possibly an error made by the person officiating at the funeral who entered the date wrong in the parish register.

Hi Barry

Yes, I think it is an error, but until I see the parish register I can't be sure if its a transcription error or one made at the time the entry was made in the register. I am sure that the death notice is for the right person though.

Thanks again for taking the time to help.

St. James Church, Burnopfield is the Parish Church if you live in Burnopfield, The Leazes, The Lintz, The Hobson  to name a few.

This church is just up the road from me and pass it often,  if I get a chance at the weekend I will have a look around to see if I can find a grave and take a photo for you.
