Just getting a little confused with registration districts and hoping someone can clarify. My grandmother Margaret Harwood died in June 1961 in Dunston (address 10 Moore Avenue, Dunston, Gateshead 11). She was 74. I had been given to understand that she died at home. I had expected this to be registered in Gateshead, but the only record I have found is in Durham North West. Is this likely to be the correct one? Would this indicate that she didn't die at home, but was taken to a hospital somewhere out of the Gateshead district? Thanks for any ideas. Heather

Is this likely to be the correct one? Heather Dunston was in Gateshead Registration District from 1837-1938 and from 1974 to the present. Between those dates it was in Durham North Western Registration District. Brian -- Brian Pears (Joint List Admin - NORTHUMBRIA Mailing List)
