I have had a lot of success in finding the graves of ancestors, especially North America, using this website, there are even some photographs of gravestones and lots of immediate family information too. I hope it is of help to some of you .....

Looks interesting, but is it only for USA? I couldn't see how to search for UK.

For anyone who may have someone buried at Kingston-upon-Thames, try

http://www2.kingston.gov.uk/GraveRecords/

You can search by surname - I have found several of mine.

Researching:
Hill, Jewell - Cornwall. Langley-Shropshire,Cole, Neate -Wiltshire,Lott, Ewell- Kent.Punter, Gadd, Wapshott, White, Weston - Surrey. To say nothing of the other half's family!

I only found it today Christine so have not explored a great deal but not much good for the UK .....it does have quite a lot of info on war deaths too and gives details of where the guys are buried in Europe/Middle East.

Many of my ancestors emigrated to Canada in the 1800's and I have found loads of information on that site already.
