Hi Pam I suspect that your problem may be more difficult than simple geography. The pre-war period and that immediately post-war, was still a time when people spent a great deal of time and, relative to their income, money, preparing for their funerals. It was not uncommon for family graves or plots to be purchased and for many relatives to be buried together. The implication for your search is that a purchased plot, should one exist, may well be 'close' geographically to a previous address. There is also the problem of overcrowding in the Metropolitan cemeteries. As an example; my grandmother died in 1993 having been widowed in 1949. Her husband, my grandfather, was buried at the cemetery off Greyhound lane in Streatham. When my grandfather died they were living in Auckland Hill near the borders of West, South and Upper Norwood. Ordinarily you might suppose that he would have been buried in West Norwood but, for whatever reason, he was sent to Streatham. In time my grandmother moved from West Norwood to Brixton, to Croydon, to Addington, and then finally she died having celebrated her 100th birthday in Caterham. There was no question of her place of burial since she 'owned a plot' at Streatham. Regards John
