We also need your grandmothers name & her maiden name.  It's not unknown for people to swap their christian names around or totally omit them

I know from family research that there is an area in/near Newcastle with the name of "Walker", which is in the Long Benton area.  So the whereabouts of burials and/or cremations in the area are a bit confusing to say the least.. 

"Christ Church, Simpson Terrace, Shieldfield, Newcastle upon Tyne, was consecrated in 1861. While the church itself is located in Shieldfield, its churchyard is part of Walker Cemetery. The churchyard was originally 6,806 square yards but was expanded in 1864 and again in 1899"

Contact office in cemeteries or Archieves in City. Give name and year of death, exact date and month is possible. They are a mine of information and most helpful. Teesside/Cleveland area are brilliantly effecient and helpful; I found unmarked, communial grave site in minutes of asking. Most efficient! Well done.   Good luck with your search.

Are you absolutely the certain middle name was Arthur? There is no matching birth or death within the times you have given.

However there was a John Robert Nichol born in Newcastle in 1900 . He married Eunice Graham and they had a son called John Arthur Nichol in 1922.

John Robert Nichol died in 1948 aged 49. He was buried at All Saints Cemetery https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJ7-C3YH?cat=828595&i=150&lang=en

Eunice Nichol died in February 1991 and in her death announcement in the Evening Chronicle she is described as Eunice Nichol of Shieldfield.

So, in short, I am wondering if the person you are after is actually John Robert Nichol who died in 1948?

I await being shot down in flames

New members often post and come back as and when they have time. If they are new they have no idea that regular posters will look and respond almost instantly.

What about this one?

The middle names initials are different.

Edit: Maybe a bit earlier than 1951?

Opening post says burial was in Newcastle - the one above was Leeds.  It is also found on the GRO index

John Dixon Thomas Hunter Nichol

Re the 1947 death above.  The 1939 register for Northumberland has 2 entries for a John Nichol - both born 1897 plus a John R also b 1897

Until Dando replies with further info it’s uncertain exactly which John Nichol he is referring to as there is no John Arthur Nichol birth or death in the timescale given
