Title: grave at Streatham Park Cemetery, London
Post by: mj2504 on Thursday 05 March 26 09:44 GMT (UK)

I was hoping that someone lives nearby to Streatham Park Cemetery and could help me confirm if there is a grave for Madeline Irene Wiltshire there? She died in 1927 aged 24.
Her death was a suspicious death (open verdict on murder/ suicide at inquest), so I am unsure if her grave would be marked if she is there. I can't seem to find any official log online to confirm she is buried there, but there is a police document that quotes her mother (Amy Milton) as saying "I am burying my daughter at Streatham Park tomorrow", and that is dated 4th or possibly 5th of May 1927.

I live in Australia, so would really love some help in tracking Madeline's grave down.
thank you!

Hi
This cemetery is enormous.
If you google for info, make sure it's Streatham Park and not just Streatham, two separate cemeteries, google doesn't always notice!
Here'a link to an old Rootschat thread
https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=395216.9 (https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=395216.9) which you may find helpful, even tho it's from 2009.
As far as I know , there are still no online records, but as you have the exact details, perhaps you can request that they do a search
good luck
