According to Family Search Parish records for Newburn image 667 indicates that Elizabeth Bowey of the Poor House was buried March 18th 1850 aged 66 years. Are the records for Newburn Poor House on line? Barbara

Barbara Castle Ward Union Workhouse, which covered Newburn, was located at Ponteland. There are no records online - in fact there are virtually no surviving records at all. Peter Higginbotham has an most informative web page dedicated to the former workhouse. http://www.workhouses.org.uk/index.html?CastleWard/CastleWard.shtml Brian -- Brian Pears (Gateshead, UK) http://www.bpears.org.uk/ Joint List Admin NORTHUMBRIA Genealogy Mailing List GENUKI Northumberland Maintainer
