Dear George, I'm fascinated that you are transcribing the Mere Knolls burial records and always understood they were in a bit of a mess, which must make your task that much harder. Have you come across any ALLISONs, GOURLEYs or LUMSDO(/E)Ns yet? I know of a few but probably don't have them all. I think the first Clerk to the Burial Board was William ALLISON, a solicitor. Has anyone done the same for (East) Boldon? There may be some GUYs buried there many years ago. Clifford Allison.
