Where would I find the burial information for ancestors of mine who lived and died in St Giles, Drury Lane area in the 1850s?Would they have been buried in the local churchyard, or by this time would it have been the larger municipal cemeteries that were being used? Thank you for any assistance. Lynn

After that date, likely to have been on of the Big Seven or the new civic cemeteries. Before that date, some of the latter were already open, but everyone had the right to burial in his own parish churchyard.. I haven't my copy of London Ceneteries and Crematoria readily to hand, but Google should be your friend. Try the GENUKI pages for Middlesex and for London, and google "Cemeteries in London" Kind regards, John Henley.
