I have Weatherall ancestors from the East End of London/Essex (originating from Yorkshire).

If you give some names and dates I might be able to help. We might have a link, you never know!

Finding burials in big urban areas is not easy as frequently people did not use their nearest churchyard/cemetery as there were often so many to choose from.

My Great-great grandmother was Sophia Ann Weatherall b 1873. She was the daughter of Robert b 1811. Sophia was born in Poplar but moved out to Barking.

I don't have any Samuel Weatheralls in my tree but Robert had a lot of children and I'm still sorting them out so I shall let you know if any Samuels appear.

Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
