Ladywell and Brockley Cemetery Headstone Photo Request - Rangecroft

[Debrakaye]

Thanks Chris,
Sarah Jupp died 21st January 1885, buried 23rd January 1885.
I presume in Ladywell Cemetery, as deceasedonline says Lewisham???
Regards
Debra

Lewisham is the name of the Local Authority from which deceasedonline got the records, They stopped showing cemetery names a few years back, as it made it too easy to avoid paying! An 1885 burial would be Ladywell or Hither Green. I don't have a Jupp photo at either. The only Jupps found in an MIs list for Ladywell done in the 1980s were William, James & Emma, all 20th century, but that list is not complete. I'm afraid you'll have to pay for a plot number. As deceasedonline says the grave has only 3 burials, it's likely it's a private grave with a headstone rather than a public one (aka com on or pauper's) which is less likely to be marked.

Be warned that they only cut the "grass" in the older areas of B&L and HG once a year and it gets up to head high after April, probably earlier with all this rain, so if you want someone to look, please get a plot number sooner rather than later.

Thanks Chris for jumping in. You're obviously around earlier than me.

Debra,
As Chris said, the cheapest and quickest option is to use deceasedonline. Definitely avoid their maps though. Ladywell and Hither Green are relatively logical in regards to grave numbering, except for the additional ones they cram in around the edges. Once you have the details, post them here and I'm sure one of us will be able to provide more information. I am only a few minutes walk from Hither Green cemetery.

Hi Again,

Is it possible to locate  a Grave for my GreatGrandmother Frances Newman, (Nee Dyer) 1870 - 1944 please?

Romilly.

Looks like a public grave. (34 burials)
Lots of different surnames all buried within a short time of each other.
Place of death Lambeth hospital

[Romilly]

Thanks PaulineJ.

Yes, Frances Newman Died in Lambeth Hospital in May 1944.

She was a Widow, Thomas Louis Newman Died in 1917. I doubt that her daughter had the funds to give her a private burial.

Hello Chris and Phil and friends,
Oh my goodness!!!
3 people are buried in the one grave. My GrGrGr Grandfather Josiah Mills, GrGr Grandmother Sarah Jupp née Mills, and 1C2R Edgar Jupp aged 2.
Grave Reference /Con/2019
Hither Green Cemetery.
If anyone is able to confirm there is a grave there, I would be in your debt. Xx
I was hoping my GrGr Grandfather would turn up there, as I cannot find anything of what happened to his body, but finding the other 2 is a bonus.
I’m happy and sad at the same time.
Thank you both for recommending that I pay the tiny fee to get the details. Big Hugs
