I have recently acquired a copy death certificate of my 3xg-grandmother Rosanna McConnell. She died of Cholera (30 hours certified) on 29 Sept 1853. Her place of death was "New Gateshead" & the residence of the Informant, Charles McConnell, present at the death (presumably her husband), was "New Gateshead, Gateshead". I have Googled & tried GENUKI for New Gateshead, without success. Can anyone inform me of the location of New Gateshead, was it an area of Gateshead or a specific site? It seems to me rather vague that a street was not specified. John Catterson High Wycombe

Hi John New Gateshead was the area to the East of the High Street, if you go to http://gis.durham.gov.uk/website/interMAP/viewer.htm and put the coordinates 426170, 563530 in to Search it will centre the map on New Gateshead on the 1856-1865 map.
