First of all Thank You to 'topoisomer' and 'gen listlass' for further suggestions etc. On burial record it states 'abode Felling Shore'. Would there have been a paper for that area? I have looked at a map and see that it isn't far from Heworth and was wondering if it would have been reported in a newspaper closer to Felling Shore rather than the Newcastle ones.
