I haven't used Rootschat for a long while, so hope I am doing it right, now.
I am trying to find the burial details of a Frederick William Tutty. He was living, before his death, in Tooting S.W London, but had been admitted to The West Park Road hospital, where he died.
I don't know how long he was there for. That is also something i would like to know. He died on April 1953.
I have tried the hospital's own cemetery, I had tried cemeteries around and near the hospital, as well as the cemeteries in Tooting.
I cannot find where he was buried. I checked findagrave and deceased online as well as emailed a few organisations, like National Archives, etc. No one seems to know where he was buried. Can anyone help please
-
Death was registered in the Surrey Mid Eastern RD
-
Was his wife Lillian Ada née Hinson? Where was she buried/cremated?
Perhaps a different couple?
-
Thank you, yes. I have his death cert, but dont know where he is buried.
-
MCKHA no, his wife was Caroline Tutty nee Irwin.
-
He may have been cremated.
Was his wife buried?
What about his parents grave?
-
Have you tried local newspapers for a death announcement?
-
Unfortunately I don't have a subscription to the newspapers.
I have Ancestry sub, but can't find, from there, his burial place
-
Do you know he was definitely buried?
I had a Quick Look for newspapers but I don’t see any. I was thinking more local newspapers - sometime local libraries keep archives.
-
I appreciate you looking, for me, thank you. I am sorry, but I really don't know whether he was buried or cremated. His daughter was buried 2 years before he died, but he is nog in that cemetery, which was Streatham Cem in Tooting.
-
What about Caroline?
-
Caroline was cremated in the crematorium just a shirt distance from that cemetery that her daughter was buried in. I contacted the crem and they said that he was not there. The hospital he died in was an asylum and they had their own cemetery, but he isn't there, according to them
-
I am sorry. I hope you manage to find something.
-
Rhank you so much for taking time out, to search, for me. It is a difficult one, that is for sure.

Do you mean West Park Hospital rather than West Park Road ? West Park was part of the Epsom cluster built on the Horton Estate.

I believe most of the records are now at the Surrey History Centre. Probably worth asking their advice anyway. https://www.surreycc.gov.uk/culture-and-leisure/history-centre
And it’s a very very longshot but is it worth checking the Surrey Index of Names published by WSFHS? https://wsfhs.co.uk/pages/sindex/siSearch.php
Presumably you’ve looked at Lost Hospitals ? https://www.ezitis.myzen.co.uk/westpark.html
HTH. Good luck

Thank you for your reply.
I have contacted West Park Hospital, they put me in touch with the Surrey history group, who were helping, in telling me I could pay to access some of the record of my grandfather, but said he had a private burial and explained that meant he would have been returned to his family, in Tooting. I really only needed to find where he was buried and wasn't sure I wanted to read his notes. I also contact Lambeth, Wandsworth, and a number of other cemeteries but no one can find him.i also looked at findagrave and deceased online but nothing showing, for him. I will check out your links, thank you very much
-
Good luck. You’ve obviously been researching this for a long long time.
-
I have, and hate i dont know where he is. I had always just assumed he was buried in the same cemetery as other members of my family, but apparently not. Thank you
