Hi, I'm looking for Sydney Stanley Davis, born approx 1884 in I think the Middlesex area, his Father was a Civil Service Clerk called William Henry Thankyou, Maggie

Hi Rosemary, No, all I have is his marrriage certificate in 1926. I've tried looking for William in 1881, but there is quite a few. Maggie

Rosemary I'm gonna start with eth 1891 unless you're already doing that Zoe

Hi Zoe, are you the same Zoe who was going to have a look for my GG Grandads gravestone in Fulham cemetry - James Ellis? Maggie

having no luck with 1891 at all. will see if i can get a hit on 1901

Maggie was it the one made from a butchers stone? Zoe

Hi Zoe, Yes thats the one, did you have any luck. I've just found the birth of Sydney Stanley Davis, he was born in March 1884 in Lambeth. Maggie

Maggie I showed up at the cemetry on a Sunday when there was no-one in the office and the place is MASSIVE. So I need to go back on a weekday when theres someone to point me in the right direction

Thanks Zoe, Do they keep a record of who or if anyone else is buried with them if the gravestone is no longer there? Maggie

1901 12 Clifton Street William H Davis 38 Clapham Widow Clapham London - widow - Civ C Sorter GPO Catherine W Davis 15 South Lambeth Son Clapham London Ethel A Davis 13 South Lambeth Daughter Clapham London Sydney S Davis 17 South Lambeth Son Clapham London - ???copy i?? civil service

Hi Zoe, Just realised what time it is, got to get up early tomorrow so I'm going to bed now, will check thread in the morning to see if you found anything hope the Lambeth bit helps! Maggie

Maggie They should do. My mum and I went looking for my grans grave earlier in teh year (different cemetry tho) and they had records with the exact date of burial, who's buried, who paid for the plot and who has rights to it currently. I'd imagine they all have to keep the same sort of thing I'm back in London on October 5th - I'm hoping I'll have a job interviw but if not I'll drive up there for you as its a Tuesday Just going for a fag break - I'll do 1891 when I get back now I have Williams age

THANKS ZOE :-) thats great Maggie
