Title: Looking for burial site
Post by: Janis L on Friday 02 July 10 11:24 BST (UK)

Hi, I am looking for the exact burial site for William Barnett who died 17 Nov 1901, supposedly buried St Pancras Parish Church Cemetery, and his wife, Martha Barnett, buried Apr 1919.        Jan

There were very few burials in London churchyards after the 1850's due to severe overcrowding.

Although there is an entry in the 'parish' register for St Pancras, it would seem William is buried at "Finchley cemetery" now known as St Pancras & Islington

Camden council charges £10 to do look-ups because the older records aren't computerised, unless you can visit the cemetery yourself and do your own look-up weekdays 10-4 for free.
