Find Ancestors

hi
a relative died in 1992 in watham forest london does anybody know how can i find where he is buried ? i just assume he was buried wife died before him amd as far as i know no children

many thanks :-)

ps i do not live in the area so cannot go to local office when open again after xmas

Google for possible cemeteries in the area...and compare their locations with the address on the death cert.

Contact the nearest one giving his full details, including actual date of death

Was his wife buried?

To aid your search........it's actually Waltham Forest. Might help when googling

hi jacqueline

i meant waltham forest just mis spelt name

google waltham forest cemeteries and email one with details and just hope they will get back in the new year?

no details on wife unfortunatly re burial
many thanks for your help

happy xmas and new year

Try deceaesed online it may cover the area

You get a free search so don't have to pay upfront

hi
thanks for that shirley
found old relatives on this site but no trace of henry tried just surname but no luck thanks again
i will print out what i have found

You could try the Parks and Cemeteries dept of the local council giving them the details from the death cert

There's always the possibility too that your relative was cremated but they will have that info as crematoria are run by the council

I have had luck going on this route for some of my relatives who died in the greenwich area of London

hi shirley
will try that route
bye for now

You could try Funeral Directors in that area and a phone call could establish who handled the burial.

They could then direct you to the Cemetery or help you further on this.

Worth a try and saves the legs!!

Good luck.

hi sappho
will try many thanks

Another option would be to contact the relevant main library of where he lived / died to see is the death was announced in the local newspaper,if it was it could show the actual place of burial / cremation.

The staff at the libraries are usually very helpful with look ups but there is likely to be a charge for doing so, the more information you can give (name,date etc) would narrow the search time!

I also had a relation died in Walthamstow but cremated in Enfield

My grandparents ( died 70's and 80's) lived in Walthamstow and they are both in City of London as mentioned by Jax. The earlier generations are in Queens Road cemetery

there is an on line book of remembrance for City of London if by any chance you know roughly what date they died or sometimes their birthday?

you might find them on there?

if this relates to the same man, then would the funeral etc not have been undertaken by the local council if they couldn't find relatives at that time? they must know the details if you can find the right department.
