Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council

We're really excited about this week's addition of cemetery records from North Yorkshire This week over half of the burial records for Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council will be added to the Deceased Online database . This is the first area for us from North Yorkshire, and the second Yorkshire council (after Wakefield , West Yorkshire) on the website. Redcar and Cleveland is located on the beautiful north east coastline. Although largely rural, the area has a strong mining history. Other historical highlights of the area are the ruined Augustinian Gisborough Priory , Kirkleatham Museum , Cleveland Ironstone Mining Museum , Winkies Castle , the bronze age Eston Nab hill fort, and the Georgian mansion and home to the Pennyman family, Ormesby Hall . Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council manages eight cemeteries completely. We uploaded four of these this week:   Boosbeck                      opened 1931      2,600 burials  Brotton                          1936
