Quinnin Grave
« on: Friday 27 May 11 01:24 BST (UK) »
Hi Rootschatters

I really want to find the final resting place of Martin and Margery Quinnin, my great grandparents.

Martin died aged 67 at No. 5 Wallridge Cottages, Matfen in 1949. His wife, Margery, died aged 71 at Hexham General Hospital in 1952. Her usual residence was No. 5 Wallridge Cottages also. The Quinnin's were Catholics.

Where would the nearest graveyard be? And if possible could someone find an obituary for the couple if there is one.

Thank you!

I'll try to take a look in the Hexham Courant for you.

I'm sorry to say I found nothing at all in The Courant.

Have you tried Newcastle newspapers - some are available at the City Library.

Hi Jen

Oh, that's a shame :( But thank you for looking anyway :D

Yes, I'll have to look at the Newspapers at the City Library. Not sure when I'll get there, but I'll keep you posted!

Thanks again

P.S. I'm sure I replied to your PM... :P

The church burial register will say where they were buried. The nearest Catholic church to Matfen then I think would be Cheeseburn Grange, Stamfordham which was served from Ponteland, so if all else fails the priest at Ponteland may be able to help.

Good luck,
J.T.A.

Thank you, J.T.A.

Found a number for the people in charge of Cheeseburn Grange. They're going to take a look to see if there's any Quinnin's there. Apparently it's only a small graveyard.

If that fails, I'll take your advice and contact Ponteland.

Thanks again!

There are 4 Quinn children's baptisms in Cheesburn R.C. from the mid 1800's if you are interested.

Hello,

Thought you may be interested. I Google searched our cottage and your post came up. We live in 5 Wallridge Cottages.

Hi, a relative of mine who lived at Wark (north Tyne valley) died at Hexham, he was buried in St Andrew's cemetery, Hexham. You may be lucky to find her / them at St Andrew's. Contact number for the Operations Manager (Monday to Friday) is  07891101236

When I contacted them (several years ago) there was no charge for them to look up, all they needed was the date of death.

Good luck
