I have found in various census records and other papers he was, amongst other things, a Patent Nail Manufacturer, Timber Merchant, Ship Surveyor, Insurance Agent and Convict Ship Owner. I think he may have had his business in or near Gateshead. Two of his children were buried in St Andrews Cemetery but I have been unable to find where he is buried. Rather than looking at cemetery records "at random", trying to discover in which one he was buried, why not look at local newspapers, where there may well have been a death notice? You have the date of death, so there would not be much searching involved. Death notices usually mentioned the name of the cemetery where the interment was to take place. Between them, Newcastle Central Library (c/o Civic Centre, Barrass Bridge, Newcastle) and Gateshead Public Library (Coatsworth Road, Gateshead) should have all the newspapers you will need.
