Post by: lisabyrne on Saturday 19 March 11 16:22 GMT (UK)

i know that twins are buried at St Patricks Roman Catholic Cemetary, langthorne Road - Leyton/Leytonstone, London,
the only problem is I only know their first name: Epsibeth & Demeredith.

what are the chances of finding them at this cemetary?

Hi

St Patrick's cemetery opened in 1861. The civil registration death index (1837-2005) isn't showing any deaths registered with the first name Demeredith (or birth registrations). There are several Epsibeths death registrations. One in Wales in 1954 aged 59. One in the city of London in 1873 aged 56 and a baby in Yorkshire in 1866 aged 0.

Without death registrations there can be no burials. For cemeteries to search in their registers they need full names and date of deaths (or certainly within the quarter specified from the death registration). With cemeteries in the London area there can be quite a few burials on any one day so searching registers can be time consuming even for 3 months of the death registration quarter.

If you think they died between 1860-1881 then the East of London Family History Society has produced a CD index for burials in the cemetery - details here

which you can purchase and search.
