Hi All
I have been trying to find the burial record of my 2 x gt-grandfather, Stephen SHARPE, who died at Earl Road, South Bermondsey in 1892. The local cemeteries, i.e. Camberwell Old and Nunhead, don't have any record, but a recent search on Deceased online showed that he was buried at Manor Park cemetery on 5th July 1892, along with an unmarried son Robert in 1890. I haven't checked the actual burial register, but wonder why they would have been buried so far from home, and in common graves, as apparently there were 16 other interments in Stephen's grave !
Does anyone have any ideas, bearing in mind Stephen's family were working class and wouldn't have had much money for burials. Did Manor Park offer cheaper deals ?
Regards
