List of deceased in Newcastle on Tyne
« on: Wednesday 04 September 13 08:28 BST (UK) »
I had a computer problem a while ago which resulted in the lose of all my favourite sites.

Yesterday I remembered a useful one which listed the names, ages and addresses of deceased, in the Newcastle area.  I'm hoping it will help me identify a suitable death record.

I tried "googling" but only came up with all the usual sites that you put a name in the search box. I'm starting to wonder if I've imagined it  ::)
Please can anyone point me in the right direction? My memory is telling me that it's an alphabetical list of names in chart form......sorry for the vagueness of this query but any help appreciated as it's driving me nuts  :)
Best wishes HL

Perhaps you were thinking of the Newcastle Evening Chronicle death notices? http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/NBL/DeathNotices/

A very interesting and useful link you have posted JenB.  Not just Newcastle deaths are shown, but relating to others outside the city. Already wasted 15 mins glancing through for family surnames. ;)

Are there any on-line lists of the persons in any Tyneside area cemeteries ?  I am especially interested in the All Saints, Jesmond and the Elswick burial grounds, but any others in or around Newcastle would be interesting.  With digital cameras being used so much today the stones and memorials in many cemeteries have been photographed and put on the web.  Any in the Newcastle area ?   Thanks.

The Newcastle Evening Chronicle obituaries are an excellent source but I bore in mind (I can see this personally) that these names are of the more affluent of my family and "Date" seems to be the day the obituary was published in the newspaper not a death or burial day.

Yes, you are quite correct about the Chronicle obituaries, but they do not cover anywhere near all the deaths.  Cemetery lists are considerably more comprehensive, and if a photo can be obtained it gives a much more personal feel about the person(s).

 Ian,

 All the major record holders ( e.g. Newcastle Central Library, Tyne & Wear Archives, Northumberland County record Office, etc) have burial records, usually under specific
 cemeteries.

 But some are not easy to search as they not always in surname alpha order.
 And many headstones have not survived ( e.g. All Saints cemetery)
