I appreciate you looking, for me, thank you. I am sorry, but I really don't know whether he was buried or cremated. His daughter was buried 2 years before he died, but he is nog in that cemetery, which was Streatham Cem in Tooting.

Caroline was cremated in the crematorium just a shirt distance from that cemetery that her daughter was buried in. I contacted the crem and they said that he was not there. The hospital he died in was an asylum and they had their own cemetery, but he isn't there, according to them

Rhank you so much for taking time out, to search, for me. It is a difficult one, that is for sure.

Do you mean West Park Hospital rather than West Park Road ?  West Park was part of the Epsom cluster built on the Horton Estate.

I believe most of the records are now at the Surrey History Centre. Probably worth asking their advice anyway.  https://www.surreycc.gov.uk/culture-and-leisure/history-centre

And it’s a  very very longshot but is it worth checking the Surrey Index of Names published by WSFHS? https://wsfhs.co.uk/pages/sindex/siSearch.php

Presumably you’ve looked at Lost Hospitals ?  https://www.ezitis.myzen.co.uk/westpark.html

HTH. Good luck

Thank you for your reply.
I have contacted West Park Hospital, they put me in touch with the Surrey history group, who were helping, in telling me I could pay to access some of the record of my grandfather, but said he had a private burial and explained that meant he would have been returned to his family, in Tooting. I really only needed to find where he was buried and wasn't sure I wanted to read his notes. I also contact Lambeth, Wandsworth, and a number of other cemeteries but no one can find him.i also looked at findagrave and deceased online but nothing showing, for him.  I will check out your links, thank you very much

Good luck. You’ve obviously been researching this for a long long time.

I have, and hate i dont know where he is. I had always just assumed he was buried in the same cemetery as other members of my family, but apparently not. Thank you
