My Great Great Grandfather was Isaac Wainwright and he was a miner. He died of enteric fever on 30 10 1880 at 47 Metal Bridge Ferryhill. I would like to know where he is buried please. He was married to Hannah Davis and they had a daughter Mary born on 18 06 1879. His mother in law Ellen Davis was with him when he died and her husband Charles was also a miner. I would be very grateful for any help you could give me or any advice on where to look.

Thank you

I have strong links to Coxhoe from my maternal side. My maternal Grandparents are both buried in St Marys graveyard in unmarked graves. Does anyone know if there is a register of unmarked graves and where it is held?
Apreciate any help or ideas.

I am researching my family history. I have established that our family & its name came from Quarrington Hill & we have ancestors in the area back to the 1600s. I am also interested in the history of Quarrington Hill. When did it get its name & where were the cweorns (mills stones for grinding grain)~ sold to?

Hello.I am Canadian by birth but my father and Grandfather and Grandmother were from the Village of Newfield in the County of Durham.They immigrated to Canada in December 1928 and settled in the City of Windsor Ontario.I have been interested in my family tree for some time but as most of us siblings were not the closest throughout the years there really has been no info as to time and places.What i can tell you is that the family name Laing figures prominently in the tree as Hannah Laing and Edward Laing were from the village and that he was a coal miner and that they had 4 daughters:Mary~Sarah(my grandmother)~Barbara and Hannah 2nd.Sarah Laing married Geroge Bromley(died in WW1)and had one daughter Hannah(my Aunt Betty)3rd.Sarah Laing Bromley remarried to William H Smith and they had 2 sons Edward Laing Smith(my father) and William(Bill)Smith.I am sending along a picture that they had taken at Chester-Le Street(I am hoping that is the right spelling?).If anyone has any info regarding this family or knows of anyone directly or indirectly related~it would be appreciated to hear from such ones.Thank you for taking the time to read this email.
