Hi Cari, many thanks for your replies.

Sorry for the delay from our part.  My father passed away recently and the funeral is this Friday so I have little time to view this at present.  Denise has flown to Canada for a couple weeks, but will return after xmas.  I will keep checking this website, so please keep in contact.

The cemetery is near Crawley, Sussex, England, not America.  I have a photo of the Pickering Grave, and a leaflet of the Cemetery, If I can find them, I will pass on a copy to you.  The person to contact at the cemetery is Mrs / Dr Bridny Thomas, C/O The PARISH OFFICE, THE RECTORY, STAINS ST, OLKLEY RH5 5SY.  I am sure she will be able to pass on any information you need of other members of the Tredwell family buried here.

There is a family crypt at Brompton Cemetery in London I have yet to visit.  I am unsure if there are any Tredwell family buried here.  The crypt is in the private part and to visit is by appointment only.

John Pickering was living at 110 lexham gardens, South Kensington.  I have a copy of the 1901 census, and the 1891 census and he is on both.  One of my family tells me he also had houses in Italy and Greece, although I still need to research this.  Mary Augusta passed away May 4th 1896, at the age of 46.

I will continue to use this website (I am new to rootschat), and I and Denise will be more active after the Christmas period.

Alan

Hello Carigreen,

We (Denise and Alan) are also descendants of John Pickering you mention in this thread at Brampton Cemetary, and we are excited to know you are researching the same family.

Any information/photos you could share with us would be greatly appreciated.  We are descendants of his son (also John Pickering), brother to Edward, Alice and Mark.  John Pickering lived in Lexham Gardens, Kensington, and was buried at Oakwood Cemetary near Crawley. (Some of the Tredwell family were also buried here, including Solomon Tredwell, husband of Alice Pickering).

The church was built in 122o, it is set in a wood up a hill,a pretty graveyard full of spring flowers, the grave is of a large angel, the biggest one in the grave yard, the Angel has a hand missing, and is looking slightley black, it is made of marble, the angel, with a large granite cross, the words are in lead which says In loving memory of my good Gussie Mary Augusta,
the dearly loved wife of John Pickering born August 1st 1850 and departed this life May 4th 1896 in her 46th year. Also John Pickering died January 2nd 1909 aged 77 years."Kensington 1A 159"
 (Gussie is a nickname for Augusta).



Thank You
