Essex / Re: Abney Park Cemetery?
« on: Tuesday 05 February 08 21:01 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
have you looked at the following web site

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~abneypark/abneyy.html

there is a map of the plots & a surname search.

I have visited the site looking for My DOOREY family. Abney Park is now a nature reserve, so unless your family member had a large memorial, they are very hard to find, but it's is a very tranquil & peaceful place to visit, you soon forget you in the middle of London.
regards

HI,
I can only add, I had a friend at school who came from the orphanage, and the children were sent to London Colney Secondary school (now closed down)
I was at the school from 1967 to 1973. she was taking in and fostered by a local family in 1973 when the orphanage closed.

Hertfordshire / Re: Thomas COZENS & Hester CHAUKLY - Kimpton

Hi,
this may not help, I have been studying the Village of Welwyn,
looking for my family (Clark's),
Welwyn is the next parish to Kimpton, and only a few miles away. 
The family name of Cozens is prominent in Welwyn, many head stones in the graveyard at st Mary's church. I would not be at all surprised if the family are linked to Welwyn.
PS: one of my ancestors, Thomas Clark of Welwyn (1815) married an Ann Chalkey (1820) born Whitwell (which is part of Kimpton parish)
regards
Kim
