Find Ancestors

does anyone know how to find where an ancestor may be buried? i know date and place of death. many thanks.

Was the place of death the person's last address?

Look for cemeteries in the vicinity, and contact them.

Some will carry out searches............most expect payment for so doing.

Are you 100% certain that this person was buried?

If so, you could try the National Burial Index.

There is a pay to view site which covers a lot of burials in the London area - it is quite reasonably priced but I can't just find it in my list.

I will take another look and will post it later if no-one else has come up with the answer.

Do you want to give us details of the person?

I am not sure, but I think FMP may also have some info?

HI T, thanks for your info, yes i have his railway records for 1919 & 1920. i was also wondering if his death is anyway linked to his employement as he was only 38 at death. in his employment record it is marked deceased against his name it looks like may 1921.

Deceased online website is good for info. I managed to find a couple. Regards local cemeteries checking, I have found that most charge £10 or £15 but some are quicker as responding than others. The quickest I got back was 1 week but I also had to wait 8 weeks for another (mainly North London though)

thanks keeley, i have only been waiting 3 weeks for replies, so i am just being a little impatient !!.
deceased online only has 2 that are from my family tree as far as i am aware, but unfortunately not basil.

recieved his death cert. he died in st thomas's hospital on 30/03/1921 while living in natal road streatham.
