Hi Geoff: I had some real luck several years ago in tracing some of my Tonks. I had indications that my g-grandfather and g-grandmother were buried in Yardely Cemetery. A cousin of mine went directly there and conferred with the local cemetery staff of the parish. They had good plot records and were able to direct her to the family site. Even though only my g-grandfather and g-grandmother were listed on the stone staff were able to inform my cousin several of their children were also interred there and they provided names DOBs and dates of death. Indeed this was so successful that my cousin & I were able to discover other living relatives of whom we had no knowledge........and is that an interesting story. My cousin when she visited the site found a recently laid wreath. We left a written message and several months later were contacted by our first cousin once removed. This led to other relatives and more family history. Assuming that Wood Green is an active cemetary is it possible to contact the parish to see what they might have in the way of cemtetary records?
