Ilford Graveyards

[moscan]

I wonder if anyone out there would know of an address I could write to to find a burial in the Ilford area.  My grand mother died in 1943 and I would like to find out where she is interred or if she was cremated.. any help would be gratefully received

Thanks

The "Mother Church of Ilford" is St Mary The Virgin, Great Ilford, which is in the High Street.  Despite being in the High Street St Mary's still has a burial ground and next to that is an extensive graveyard run by the local Council.    If your grandmother had a headstone, if she was buried there, it could well still be there.  I am a bit confused about Ilford as it is covered by the London Borough of Redbridge, but is officially in Essex, as witness the post codes IG1 etc.  So it might also be worth checking with Essex Records Centre or the Local History Library to see who's got copies of the burial records.

Thank you so much for that info... I will investigate that further
