Sunderland Holy Trinity burials 1822-1830

4,104 burials at Sunderland Holy Trinity covering 1822 to mid-1830. This set filled a gap we had, so we now have a continuous run of burials at this church from 1719 – 1838. We will next work on filling the gap from 1839 to 1841, as we already have 1842 online.

Jarrow St. Paul burials 1820-1832

1,234 burials at Jarrow St. Paul covering 1820-1832. This included the burial of 40 men who were all killed in a gas explosion in the Bensham Seam of Jarrow Colliery on 3 Aug 1830. There were twice as many burials as usual in the 2nd half of 1832, possibly because of the cholera epidemic that entered Sunderland in the late summer of that year and spread across the country.
