A little more info. Using the Plot Number search on Find A Grave reveals that Susannah and Alexander Francis Hill are each buried with 6 other unrelated people who died around the same time. These are therefore most likely common graves and unmarked or had miniature headstones now lost in the undergrowth.

Alexander William Hill in Square 93 at Camberwell New is similarly with 4 unrelated others. This is another common grave area with few marked graves and mainly bare grass (at least it's not dense trees!). I think all have been photographed by me and others with no Hills found, nor any of the other people who share his grave. (If you're lucky in such cases, at least one person has a gravestone and that locates them all.)

Sorry for the glum tidings again.

Thanks Chris

I'll drop the cemetery a line see if it is possible but sounds like it is a bit of a bust.

I wanted to be able to take my wife over there as Susannah had a bad time in her later years.


Thanks again

Chris
Following on from your post, what we're the burial dates of the Hills.
I have an Ancestor interred 1877 in Square 7, and posted my observation and that of a resident who made a comment about this area of the cemetery in her living memory, so the 1960-80 period
