Hi, Questions such as this can normally be found out for yourself by Googling: www(.)google(.)co(.)uk Remove brackets from web address. I just put 'City of London Cemetery' into Google with the quote marks and found the following website: Remove brackets from web address http://www(.)cityoflondon.gov.uk/Corporation/our_services/health_safety/cemetery_crematorium/ It doesn't appear that burial details are online and you would need to contact the cemetery direct. You may also find this website useful: Remove brackets http://www(.)londoncemeteries(.)co(.)uk/?c=17 Cheers, Horatia

Hi The city of london burial registers are starting to be put online they have 24 June 1856 to 2 June 1861 so far, but you would need to know the plot number really. They do offer a research service, you would have to check out how much it costs. However, if you live near enough you can make an appointment to view the burial registers, I have several times the staff are very helpful and its a lovely cemetery.

Thanks for that - I've had a quick look and I certainly need at least a date of death to try to find them. Also, they go up to end of 1962 now. Jeannie

People may remember that I posted something a little while ago re. this cemetery. My great aunt left for her marriage from the house inside the cemetery gates, her nick name after that was... Cemetery Kate. Kathlyn
