Hi i am looking for my great grandparents graves.
They died in Ealing and Hounslow.
Any suggestions on how to start
-
You could start by trying the relevant Councils and asking if they have records of who is buried where which you can consult (there may be a fee).
Here is a link to Ealing Council Cemeteries section that may help to start with
https://www.ealing.gov.uk/info/201036/deaths/738/cemeteries
and Hounslow
https://www.hounslow.gov.uk/downloads/download/410/cemeteries
If they cannot help they should be able to tell you who can

Welcome to rootschat
The probate for the 1955 death which was registered in Ealing RD gives an address of .. Glenwood Road, Hounslow.
Is it likely they were cremated :-\

ADDED It is possible that the reason the 1959 death was registered in Ealing reg distric is that he was in hospital when he died.

Ok I will have a look that maybe the case. I do not know much about them as my Gran was brought up by her aunt and saw them once a year. She is now dead.
-
The father in law you mentioned before removing names possibly died March qtr 1960 also Ealing reg district.
Hounslow local studies may be able to help though I am not sure what records they would have.

Love your avatar :) Hope they are quieter than my horror. ::)

I only removed names as first post and then saw something in red at the top about not asking about people so then edited and removed. Lily has her mad and deaf moments like all spaniels 😀. Where did you find the 1960 death of Charles Pearce I have looked in ancestry?

It was on freebmd as suggested by Ray though the link does not seem to be working. It has been slow for the last few days.
Deaths Mar qtr1960
PEARCE Charles age 89
Ealing 5e 245
It is alright to ask about people who are not living :)
The Mod on this board has a good knowledge of cemeteries in this area, hopefully she will spot this. :)

Ok thank for that in that case here is all the info
Adophus Dotrice 28 June 1955 Ealing born 29 June 1878 Guernsey he does play around with his first name using other options
and his wife Louisa Dotrice (nee Pearce) Dec 1969 Hounslow
Her father may or may not be with them (Charles Pearce) all I know is he was with them in 1939 before the WW2 and when records started again he was gone so must have died.
I will look at that Pearce in 1960 but I will be surprised as was living with them and no longer listed and he would have outlived her husband?

Hi Maz
Have you managed to find their last resting places yet?
-
I think the answer is we may never no. But Martin has done a great job.

All burials/crematons in municipal cemeteries/crematoria are recorded but with so much choice in the London/Middlesex areas, finding the actual places may take a bit of time.
You might want to consider purchasing a copy of Adolphus's will fom HMCTS for £10.
https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/#wills
Many wills start with funeral wishes.
If you have contacted the cemeteries team at Hounslow and they aren't there, there is the possiblity they chose to be buried out of the borough at the nearby Twickenham cemetery.
https://www.richmond.gov.uk/twickenham_cemetery
The Book of Remembrance for SW Middlesex Crematorium at Hanworth is online but Adolphus isn't listed on the 28 June but that's not to say he wasn't cremated without an entry in the book.

A number of mine who died Ealing area have turned up in Ealing & Brentford (or is it B&E?) Cemetery. Ancestry have an index and images of the plot registers, not sure if it's only some or perhaps all of them.
