Trying to find out where two sets of great grandparents may be buried. Both are Catholic I think.One lot- the O'Nealls ( or a version of this) John died in Tudhoe in 1889 and Catherine in Tudhoe Grange in 1893. The second lot - the Rammages( or Ramages) Henry died in Merrington in1874 and Elizabeth in Tudhoe in 1889. I'm not sure where the nearest Catholic burial grounds were at that time .We looked in Merrington churchyard and just got very muddy! and the priest at Tudhoe (St Charles) said there were no records that far back- so any ideas gratefully received.

Hi Catherine, When I was looking for a Catholic burial for someone who died in 1860, I couldn't find him in any nearby Catholic burial records. I was in Durham Record Office searching for this burial, and someone there told me that a lot of Catholic Churches didn't have a graveyard, and that quite often, they were buried in the nearest Anglican Church. So I did some searching of the nearby Anglican churches, and sure enough, I found my man buried there. Maybe the same thing has happened to you? You need to search the burial records of all the Anglican Churches in the surrounding areas. Hope you find them!
