Hello,
I am looking for someone who lives in the area of Manor Park Cemetery who would be kind enough to locate the graves of my great grandparents, Frederick and Jane Robinson (nee Busby) who are buried there and possibly take a picture of the grave(s) for me if they still exist.
Frederick Robinson died 08 July 1937 in Bethnal Green and was buried July 1937. I have a printed burial card which states that his remains are in Grave No. 41, Square, C. Wife, Jane's burial card indicates she died 29 January 1906 and was buried 05 February 1906 in Grave No. 665, Square, 41.
As a Canadian, I am unfamiliar with cemetery burial laws in the U.K. The fact that my gt. grandmother, Jane Robinson, died over 100 years ago, might indicate that the perpetuity of her grave has lapsed, the remains removed to make room for new graves and reinterred somewhere else. Hopefully, someone may be able to set me straight on this. I realize that Manor Park is a very large cemetery and like many large burial grounds around the world, they are running out of room.
The grave numbers indicate that my gt. grandparents are not in the same grave. Again, maybe someone can shed some light for me regarding this. They weren't wealthy people by any means. My gt. grandfather was a manager of a boot shop.
I certainly would appreciate any help on locating these graves.
