Surrey / St George Camberwell - Burials
« on: Saturday 29 January 22 12:21 GMT (UK)  »
I have an ancestor who was buried at St George Camberwell.
The church has been converted into a block of flats and the burials in the crypt were removed to Nunhead Cemetery.
I can't work out whether the burials in the burial ground are still there or not. The burial ground is now within the grounds of the block of flats (55 Wells Way, Camberwell, SE5 7TW) and would be under the car park/garden at the rear of the flats.
My ancestor was Michael Ennis (buried as Michael Joseph Ennis) born abt 1792 and buried 29th January 1854. He was living on Edmund Street at the time he died (and on the 1851 census).
I've been in touch with Southwark Archives, West Sussex FHS, and Friends of Burgess Park to date.
If anyone can point me towards where it says the burials are still in the burial ground or have been moved, or can suggest somewhere else I could look / ask, please could you let me know as I've run out of ideas.
Otherwise I might have to contact the freeholder; surely they'd know whether the burials are still in situ.

London and Middlesex / Re: Camberwell (Non-Conformist?) Burial Records

Hi Pennie
I see you have someone buried at St George Camberwell, as do I. I'm trying to work out whether mine is still in the burial ground or whether he's been moved. Have you been able to trace whether your relative is still buried there? The ones in the crypt were moved before the church was converted to a block of flats.

World War One / Medal Rolls Index Card - LS & GEM AD 368
« on: Saturday 10 November 12 11:48 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
I would be obliged if anyone can tell me what this means:
under the Medals section: LS & GEM AD 368 of 1926.
And: GOC Aldershot frods[?] lists ap[?] 23-7-1926

It is on a Medal Rolls Index Card. I'm not sure if the remarks refer to this entry but they say - LS & GEM AD 368 of 1926 - Remarks: 22961 of AG10
The Index Card confirms he served in the Asiatic Theatre of War from 1915 and he was also awarded the India General Service Medal with AFGN (Afghanistan) NWFF (North West Frontier Force) Clasp 1919 (another topic on this website told me what that one was).

In case it assists, it is the Index Card for Herbert GILES who served with the Royal Sussex Regiment as a Private.
Thanks
June

Essex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Witham Parish records
« on: Thursday 29 December 11 15:39 GMT (UK)  »
Dear suffolk*sue

Many thanks for your help - I'll look into getting a subscription for the Essex Records Online to follow it up further but it looks like the right family. I got the original info from a tree on Ancestry - date was 2 months out but the census records I have also confirmed Chipping Hill.

If chrislb is still around, please get in touch - I don't recognise the name Gregory Harris but we should compare notes to see if we can help one another.

Regards June

Hi Diblet

I understand you have some records for St Nicolas Witham. I have been told my 4xggf was baptised there on 23 May 1796. His name was Richard HARRIS. I understand the Essex records are online now - do you know if St Nicolas is included? If so, I might have to sign up to expand this line. If you were able to confirm this baptism, it woud be a great help though.

Thanks June
