Hi Anita

The entry Carole has found took place in 1853 not 1857. Is this a possible match?

If not, Valda has written a really useful guide to London burials which can be found here

Have a look and then let us know where you have looked so far and we may be able to offer more suggestions.

henry died in the workhouse in chelsea according to the 1857 death cert would he have been buried in the workhouse cemetry if there is such a thing?

sorry forgot to say there is also no entry of a henry ebers in 1853 died in the bmd only john henry in 1854 which is another of ours. Must have made a mistake on the burials comewhere although they are original docs on line on ancestry.

It would seem the burial registers for the Chelsea Workhouse do not survive.

I think the 1853 burial at St Lukes may be Mary Ebers, there's an entry in the day book that matches the freebmd but the burial  reg entry says Henry 

The entries either side of 'Mary' in the day book are Fanny Wright and Esther Hales, they are almost either side of 'Henry' in the burial reg. The parish clerk has made a real muck up of the names on the next page.
