. Hello, Sue and others I agree with what others have said but think I should add just one thing: In 1854? there was an Act of Parliament that prohibited further burials in London [and Westminster] This caused the creation of many "out of town cemeteries" both private and church run. I know that the churches of: St James, Piccadilly, St Martins in the Fields and St Geo. Han. Sq. tried to worked together to create a new "Westminster Cemetery" at Hanwell, which in the 1850's was a rural suburb. The actual cemetery name has changed several times. They appointed the Sexton of St Geo. Han. Sq. to become the Superintendent at Hanwell. And so the new Superintendent moved from Westminster to Hanwell with his young family. He was Mr Thomas Scarman [my GG grandfather] Obviously its much easier to do a web search for the name rather than attempt a search of the many cemetery records. Hope this helps and is of interest.
