Is anyone able to help find where he is buried please? start by lookig at St Brides parish records possibly on film? London Metropolitan Archives City church yards were closed by act of parliament and the great victorian cemeteries established eg The London Necropolis Company, also London Necropolis & National Mausoleum Company, was set up in 1850, and established by Act of Parliament in 1852. Its purpose was to create a large metropolitan cemetery, big enough to hold all of London's dead forever. Brookwood Cemetery was set up at Brookwood, Surrey near Woking, landscaped by William Tite, and by 1854 it was the largest cemetery in the world. Funeral trains ran from London Necropolis railway station, adjacent to Waterloo station, directly to platforms within the cemetery itself. (station bombed in WW2 and not restored) The London Necropolis Company was dissolved around 1975, and the cemetery has been administered privately since. WIKI also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Cemeteries_in_London eg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highgate_Cemetery The cemetery in its original form — the western part — opened in 1839, part of a plan to provide seven large, modern cemeteries (known as the "Magnificent Seven") around the outside of London. The inner-city cemeteries, mostly the graveyards attached to individual churches, had long been unable to cope with the number of burials and were seen as a hazard to health and an undignified way to treat the dead. The initial design was by architect and entrepreneur Stephen Geary. Highgate, like the others, soon became a fashionable place for burials and was much admired and visited. The Victorian attitude to death and its presentation led to the creation of a wealth of Gothic tombs and buildings. It occupies a spectacular south-facing hillside site slightly downhill from the top of the hill of Highgate itself, next to Waterlow Park, both of which were part of the former Dartmouth Park which covered the area. . . . so he could be anywhere Hugh W
