I haven't had any luck finding it in the NDFHS lists. It HAS been published by the NDFHS. I myself made a transcript, not from the original stones but from an undated list in Durham County Record Office (Modern Transcripts and Indexes - the "black volumes" - Vol 130), some 20 years or more ago. That was published, by permission of the Record Office, by the NDFHS, in a two-fiches set, covering Harton St Peter, Gateshead St John, Whitburn and Ebchester (part) churchyards. Note that in each case these lists cover churchyards only, NOT Municipal cemeteries. The NDFHS reference to the St John's list is TD 15. A surname index is included but there is no reference to either \winsper (etc) or Freeman on the 122 stones listed at Gateshead Fell St John. As far as I know, St John's churchyard is the only burial place on Gateshead Fell. Geoff Nicholson

Thanks very much, Geoff - now on my list of things to buy. Heather > a two-fiches set, covering Harton St Peter, Gateshead St > John, Whitburn and Ebchester (part) churchyards. > The NDFHS > reference to the St John's list is TD 15. >

Is anyone looking for William George DRYDEN sometime of 22 Greenfield Terrace Gateshead? I have a document which suggests where he was from March 1886 to January 1914. Robin
