Hi Gillian, I took the burial for John Wade from a transcription of the records I have. I will check the Parish Register to cross reference the two versions. I have come across lots of instances in Christ Church, Tynemouth where the Parish Register & the Bishops Transcripts do not agree with each other.

I looked at the Bishop's Transcript images on familysearch site for St. Hilda's and it clearly says that John was aged 29, same burial date. A big difference in the age!!!

It's something I hadn't realised! However sometimes the Bishops Transcripts are the only information left available if the parish registers are lost or missing. Gen in NBL UK
