Burial in Highbury 1874?

[Gen List Lass]

I found a death in the Pall Mall Gazette for Hugo Reinhard, formerly of China, he died at Benwell Road, Highbury on Xmas Eve.

He was married and had his children baptised as Anglicans so where would he be buried?

In the famous Highbury cemetery?

His full name was William Ludwig Hugo REINHARD but he seems to have only used Hugo as a forename.

Hi Gen

Valda has written an excellent guide to London Burials here

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,403492.0.html

It is highly unlikely that he is buried in a parish churchyard so you'll need to check local authority records.

I have checked the database at Deceased Online (for Camden & Islington burials) and there isn't a Reinhard entry 1874/1875.

He may be buried at Highgate cemetery, there are details of how to do a search here

The search fee is a bit steep though.

Good luck, searching for burials in London is not an easy task.

Hello Gen List Lass,

You could also try Camden archives, who have a copy of the Highgate Cemetery registers up to, I think, the 1960s.  I think you or a friend in London would actually need to go there in person to do the search, but here's a link to their site anyway.

Thank you for all of your replies. Much food for thought here.

Pity the Highgate searches are so expensive. I think I'll get his death certificate, that might give me a clue from his financial circumstances.

Hi Gen

If you can give me a few weeks to ease myself into the new year, I'll have a go at visitng the Camden Archives. It's been on my to-do list for a while.

Hi Dawn

That would be great!

Whenever you have the time and the inclination:-)

Need any lookups up here in Northumberland? I go to the Archives twice a week.
