Title: Wherer might maiden aunts be buried.
Post by: Sheldon on Monday 29 October 07 19:52 GMT (UK)

Hoping for some help here, as I'm absolutely stuck.
2 Maiden aunts were living in Little Ilford, ST Mary the Virgin Parish, East Ham at the time of 1901 census.
Charlotte McGoverne age 31, and Kathleen McGoverne age 36.
If they stayed there, where might they be buried.  Ive looked at tons of sites for Essex but no luck.  Can anyone on here give me some ideas to go by.
Thanks
Tracy.

Have you looked through the BMD index to see when & where (district) they died?

There death Certs may hold a vital clue to where they are buried.

If not try the East of London Family History Society

http://www.eolfhs.org.uk/parish/little_ilford.htm

You can contact them they will know more about the area you are interested in

Thanks for answering Kath.  I have searched for their deaths on the Freebmd site, but so far haven't found when they died.
I will look up that address you gave me and hope for some more success.
Many thanks
Tracy.

Whilst Free BMD is a great site it is not full transcribed yet and at this present time they are only up to about 1925-1935 in certain parishes.

You need to look at the full index which you can find on Ancestry.co.uk or findmypast.com

You could phone the churches around little Ilford and see if they have any information.
Manor Park looks like it's the largest, but i am not an expert believe me. the EoLFHS will be able to help more hopefully
