Title: How do I find out where someone is buried?
Post by: Karen01 on Monday 20 August 12 20:45 BST (UK)
Can anyone point me in the right direction in finding out where someone is buried? Deaths occured in 1900, 1919 and 1936 in Leyton Essex. They lived in Forest Gate.
Stanley James Garner Wright, Walter James Garner Wright and Edward Henry Wright.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks
Karen

Hi Karen

As a starter, West Ham cemetery is located in Forest Gate

http://www.newham.gov.uk/BirthsDeathsAndMarriages/WestHamCemetery.htm

The records can be searched at this pay-per-view site

Hi

If not that leaves you the three other independently managed cemeteries in the London borough of Newham or possibly a cemetery in a neighbouring borough. The links to each of the cemetery offices is in the guide to burials at the top of the Rootschat Essex board (London borough cemeteries are on the second page). The company which runs Woodgrange Park cemetery doesn't have a particularly good reputation answering enquiries, so it might be worth contacting the 'Friends' of that cemetery once you have eliminated the other cemeteries. The link is in the guide. Cemeteries may charge for searching their records so it helps if you can narrow down dates of death as much as possible.

Thank you, I have the death certificates so know the dates they died, just don't know where they are buried. Also one of them is a baby so doubt whether there would be a headstone, as I think they had previously lost about 6 children, no idea about ages or names. My grandad seems to be the only one who survived, his poor mother outlived all her other children, which is so sad.
