1,431 burials at South Shields St. Hilda, filling a gap we had from 1816 through 1819. Most of these burials have streets in South Shields in the Abode column, but some are from Bishopwearmouth, East and West Holborn, Harton, Jarrow, Simonside, Temple Town, and Westoe. We now have South Shields St. Hilda’s burials from 1813 through 1855, and will shortly be adding many earlier burials.
