COMPLETED - Hammersmith 1886 Burial
« on: Monday 08 September 08 18:37 BST (UK) »
Hi all,

My great great grandfather John James Edwards was living and committed suicide at 1a Grove Mews, The Grove, Hammersmith on 17th May 1886 aged 28.

Can anyone offer suggestions for likely cemeteries in which he could have been buried or find his burial record?

Many Thanks

Hi there

I would certainly start with Brompton Cemetery. You can ring them and they'll check their database for you on the spot.

Contact details here:

As you have a full name and an exact date of death, you could try Hammersmith's cemeteries office
