The locations and names are all potentially Jewish - especially in combination. It seems likely that these were all Jewish families (although you're wise to allow otherwise in your research). "Sister" is similar in both sound and shape to "Esther" (and variations). Have you tried for that at all?

It is unlikely but not impossible that she is buried in a Jewish cemetery. Sister SYMONS nee Frydman (could be Freedman). And?I'm not at all sure about the first name--the first name may be a transliteration from the Yiddish or not. She was born in Stopnice, Poland c.1870s, and immigrated to London. I do not know year of death. Altho she was born to an orthodox Jewish family, she married Mr. Symonds who may have been a Christian gentleman. They may have lived in Hampstead or Finchley. They had a daughter Isobel (Isabella, Belma) b ?.? Belma married A.C. Masney (David) Gruner in 1917; they had 2 children, Anthony b1921 + Rebecca b1924. David Gruner died in 1958; Belma in 1981. I know the rest of the lineage, including grandchildren. However, I have contacted Gruner family members and they do not know where Sister SYMONS is buried nor do they have any additional info about her. <snip> -- Kindest Regards, Ann Linder Florida USA
