Many thanks for the pointers, will give me more reading in my quest.

Islington records are online at Deceased Online, it's a subscription site.

but I don't think he's there

Thanks for that one. I have checked and you're right, it doesn't look like he's there.

All suggestions are very much appeciated.

Bit of a long shot this one but here goes.

I'm looking for the burial place of a great Uncle, John Edwin KING d.o.b. 23 August 1897 in Bethnal Green. He died on 23 December 1938 (age 41) at St. Alban’s Hospital, Napsbury, Hertford.

I have checked with St Albans District council cemetery office and they can find no trace of him.

A family member suggested he may have been buried in the Tottenham area of London as that was where he was living prior to hospital admission. I have checked with Haringey council and there is no trace at the cemeteries covered by them. They in turn suggested Islington and Southgate.

There is no trace of him at New Southgate cemetery and a check at with Old Southgate has proved negative. So far, I've been unable to get a response from Islington.

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas of where I could check next.

Many thanks

Helloo, This is a random stab in the dark.. I actually googled Helen Waring..

Right.. So my nan's real mother died when she was 1, her name.. Helen Hill, formely Waring....

Part of the Harding and Waring family ??
Any connection ?

I don't thnk that there is any connection there I'm afraid. Helen/Ellen married into the Maw family and died under that name.

...and the backs.

Just to add that neither photo was in a frame and no other supporting information. The only thing I can say is that if these came from my fathers side of the family, these would have been from the Poplar, West Ham, North London area.
