Notes
1. 1939-45 war. "Mention should be made here of Father Gerrard Nesbitt, a secular priest who before the outbreak of war was assistant to Father Kershaw. He became an Army Chaplain, and was killed at the age of 33 on July 6, 1944. A Newcastle Journal war correspondent in France wrote 'Father Nesbitt met his death when a shell burst whilst he was in the act of burying the dead'". From "A Short History of St. Robert's Church, Morpeth".
