Eight In Memoriam Entries in the Sunderland Daily on 15 Jan 1923 for mother Mary Jane PARKER and father John W PARKER who died 16 Dec 1915. So I’m surprised that I cannot find a death notice saying where the funeral and burial would be. Tried searching for just “PARKER” and also for “Mary Jane”. Might be findable using her maiden name.

Sunderland Daily Wednesday June 4 1924
Death - WALLACE At 13 Primrose Street, Murton Colliery on June 2 age 39 years Mary Jane wife of William WALLACE and daughter of John and Mary PARKER of Silksworth. Interment at St Matthews Church Silksworth ~~

Thanks Megc18 and Spelk.
What a brilliant headstone and John W Parker on it too.
I know Mary Jane Wallace as well. Great to know that she is there too.
How fantastic that I posted this over 5 years ago and still got a reply.
Thanks again.
