By the 1850's almost all churchyards were closed for burials, so they were taking place in municipal cemeteries.

Valda has written an excellent guide here

I would suggest Marylebone Cemetery at East Finchley, Kensal Green and Paddington Old Cemetery as possible burial places but none of the records are online.

You will need to make a direct application to Westminster Council at Hanwell, Kensal Green itself and London Borough of Brent. You will need an actual date of death from the certificate as the surname is too frequently occuring for the staff there to search without it.
