So the text you're referring to is -: burial 12 Mar 1904 Aidani, Apud Ashington, Novocastrensi Et Haguldastensi ??? This is Latin My Latin skills are rudimentary at best but my guess is -: Aidani = St Aiden's; Apud = at or near; Novocastrensi = Newcastle; et = and; Haguldastensi - I don't know but would guess it's another place. I think that it means that Emma was buried in the churchyard at St Aiden's, Ashington. In my small experience, Catholic registers of this time & area are invariably in Latin & helpfully specify where the person whose funeral was conducted was buried. I think it would be surprising if CofE or Wesleyan registers were in Latin at this period.

It is all the names before and after the word Ashington that i am wondering about. If it is a Catholic burial then she is not my girl. As the Newmans were a mixed denomination. And were more likely to have used the church of England Or the Morpeth Methodist Circuit. These denominations are used for the Baptisms of all four children i have found so far and burials for Gladys and Lena. Thanks for your input most appreciated Kitty

I don't think this adds much, but the RC diocese which includes Newcastle is officially known as Hexham and Newcastle, so I'm guessing that the Latin represents that title When the RC hierarchy was reinstated in the 1850 there was an agreement that no RC bishop would have the same title as an Anglican bishop, so as there was already a bishop of Newcastle, the RC diocese was titled Hexham and Newcastle. Makes it almost certain that the burial referred to would be RC M E G -----Original Message----- From: Rosemary Ackroyd Sent: Sunday, February 03, 2013 5:21 AM To: [email protected] ; Northumberland Mailing List Subject: Re: [NMB] Emma Newman So the text you're referring to is -: burial 12 Mar 1904 Aidani, Apud Ashington, Novocastrensi Et Haguldastensi ???

I see that The Catholic Diocese is 'Newcastle & Hexham' so Haguldastensi may be a latinization of Hexham Rosemary > > So the text you're referring to is -: burial 12 Mar 1904 Aidani, Apud Ashington, Novocastrensi Et Haguldastensi ??? > This is Latin My Latin skills are rudimentary at best but my guess is -: Aidani = St Aiden's; Apud = at or near; Novocastrensi = Newcastle; et = and; Haguldastensi - I don't know but would guess it's another place.
