Tim, I have a friend who lives in Tunbridge Wells - he probably wouldn't be interested in searching the entire grave yard, but if you already have an idea whereabouts your ancestor was buried, there's a fair chance that I could get him to photograph it for you  :)
RIP 1949-10th January 2013

Best Wishes,  Nick.

Tim, my friend has said that he will try to find and photograph the gravestone for you, but can you please clarify that it's the Tunbridge Wells Municipal Cemetary that your ancestor is buried in, and can you also say what year she died ?   Apparently there's more than one cemetary in TW, but the Municipal Cemetary is the biggest.

Hi,

I live in T Wells and would be more than happy to get you a photo or two.

Do you know which one it is? There is a main one and lots of 'old' church cemeteries.

Rob.

Dear Nick29 and robocallaghan,

Thankyou so much i appreciate your help,as i said before though i honestly dont know if there are gravestones for the burials.
I was sent a plan of the Cemetery which i have attached hopefully.




The people i am looking for are,

Henry Underhill ,1840 to 1885    C1 / 288
Thomas W Andrews 1851 to 1925 and wife Hannah E Andrews 1854 to 1938   B1 / 200 GEN
Alice Leah Vine 1882 to 1970   C18 / 102
John Balcombe 1868 to 1908   C13 710 con
Alfred Clifton death not sure but this reference C13 100

Any help with any of these would be brilliant,thankyou again....Tim
