Title: Chingford Mount Cemetery Waltham Forest Sec D 11 grave 82479
Post by: jacqueline cox on Monday 29 January 24 17:44 GMT (UK)

I believe 55 year old George Frederick Wilson , a hawker, would have died in St Luke's Workhouse Hospital (Old Street/ Shepherdess Walk Islington London) after he was recorded there in the 1921 Census. He had been in and out of it for years but I can find no discharge for him after his admission in April 1918. Would the dead from St Lukes be buried in this section of Chingford Mount ?  Ancestry has a burial for a George Frederick Wilson aged 55 on 26 May 1923.

I think there is a probate entry for that death on Ancestry.   Widow Emily Mary Ann.  He left just over £1509
