NCC cemetery page has contact details. The advice they give for family researchers is go to Woodhorn pre 1900 or contact the cemetery directly for deaths after this date. So I took a punt and rang the Blyth office listed and a helpful lady rang back after looking up relevant details for me. If I told her when I was coming she would print off a plot map ready.
She reckoned they could charge upto £48 for this service if a lot of time was undertaken which is understandable, mine was easy so no charge, therefore a box of chocolates is in order when I go!
We are now wondering where he was in the nine years from the Boer war to re-applying for the Masters certificate in 1911 (the information you found us), if he was working on ships why did it take this long to reapply? My dad reckons he probably went wandering up to the gold fields! we will probably never know, although I have a number of poor handwritten letters to decipher from 1900s I will let you know if anything interesting comes up.
