Hi Reid, You might find this page useful, it is the page of the Gateshead Borough Council dealing with Burial and Cramation records. They offer a search service for finding burials/cremation records. There will be a charge for this service so do check fees and charges. http://www.gateshead.gov.uk/People%20and%20Living/Bereavement/Burial%20and%20Cremation%20Records.aspx regards Jenny DeAngelis Spain. <<> My great grandfather Christopher Tate Cooper: died 09 Aug 1915 while living > at 98 Market Lane, Dunston, Durham County. > His son, my grand uncle Christopher Tate Cooper, II: died 04 Dec 1940 > while > at the Royal Victoria Infirmary, but had lived at 12 Fern Ave, South Moor, > County Durham. > Another son and grand uncle Samuel Cooper (was Chief Inspector of Weights > & > Measures of Gateshead Borough): Died 17 Apr 1947 while living at 2 Onslow > Gardens, Low Fell, Gateshead. > Finally, Samuel's son also Christopher Tate Cooper (was plant manager for > years at Cookson Lead & Antimony Co., Ltd in Willington Quay, but lived > for > years and years at 38 Moor Crescent, Gosforth: death was registered in the > second Qtr of 1981.
