Henry Newbiggin WILSON WW1 1921
« on: Tuesday 05 August 25 17:08 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help?
HENRY NEWBIGGIN (spelling ?) WILSON died on 1 June 1921 after having served with the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve. Aged 37.
Henry died at Morrowfield Farm, Newlands but his home address was at 20 Ravenswood Road, Heaton, Newcastle on Tyne. His next of kin was his mother, Elizabeth Jane Wilson.
Henry's is entitled to War Grave designation - if proof of burial can be established to the satisfaction of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Copy of the original Burial Register is conclusive proof.
Does anyone know where Henry Newbiggin Wilson is buried? Any bits of information, including death or obituary notices, would be gratefully received.

Newcastle Evening Chronicle, 2nd June 1921

Wilson - at Ebchester on 1st inst., Henry Newbegin Wilson, dearly beloved son of late George and Elizabeth Wilson, interment Jesmond Old Cemetery at 11.30 a.m. on Sat June 4th., cortege leaves 126 Sandringham Road, Gosforth at 11.a.m. All friends please accept this the only intimation.

For Newcastle related deaths the Evening Chronicle is the go-to starting place for death and funeral announcements  ;)

And here he is in the grave register.

The annotation 'to...' followed by another grave number indicates that the bodies interred in this section were exhumed and re-buried along with many others. This was in order that a road widening scheme could take place (which never happened). https://www.geni.com/projects/Jesmond-Old-Cemetery-Burials/29648

his home address was at 20 Ravenswood Road, Heaton, Newcastle on Tyne. His next of kin was his mother, Elizabeth Jane Wilson.

As you can see from the grave register his mother pre-deceased him.

Newcastle Evening Chronicle, 7th March 1919

Wilson - 20 Ravenswood Road, Heaton, on the 4th, Elizabeth Jane, widow of the late George Wilson. Interment at Jesmond Old Cemetery, Sat., 8th at 1 p.m.

You can the use link in reply #2 to see her name and address in the 1919 burial index.

Newcastle Evening Chronicle, 2nd June 1921

Wilson - at Ebchester on 1st inst., Henry Newbegin Wilson, dearly beloved son of late George and Elizabeth Wilson, interment Jesmond Old Cemetery at 11.30 a.m. on Sat June 4th., cortege leaves 126 Sandringham Road, Gosforth at 11.a.m. All friends please accept this the only intimation.


Just to tie this up nicely, the occupant of 126 Sandringham Road in 1921 was a Mary H Newbegin.
She died on 4th July 1922 and, as you can see from the grave register I linked to in reply #3, was buried in the same grave plot as Henry and his mother. 

I rest my case  ;D

JenB.

Are you able to access (and post) the original death notice from the Evening Chronicle ?  This is not a reflection on your transcription - just that CWGC always look for the original where available.
Many thanks.

It's a very poor quality scan I'm afraid.

By the way, the notice says he died at Ebchester, whereas your post said he died at Newlands. The latter was only a mile or so west of Ebchester.
