Yukky start again to the day again on Sunday so I decided to pull out of the walk and head over to Billingham I caught the bus to Hexham, train to Newcastle and then train down to Billingham. Billingham is where my family lived and my eldest sister Jane is buried.
Getting to St Cuthbert's was tricky from the train but I got there.
St Cuthbert's is a saxon church that has been there since 850AD with various alterations. Dad was a curate there before they moved to London.
I had a good look over all the cemetery and couldn't find Jane's grave. I enlisted the help of a parishioner but the records were away being archived.
It was more upsetting than I expected. ..and did throw me a bit.
