Just found this link to Abney Park Cemetary - unfortunately doesn't help me, but might be useful for someone else. http://freepages(.)genealogy(.)rootsweb(.)com/~abneypark/abneyy(.)html regards Looby

Thanks Liz Will have a look - all the other side of the family are rural Northants/Beds and the records are held at the local crematoria with very helpful staff - don't really want to have to start making trips to London if I'm not sure where/what I'm looking for and that I'm at least looking in a sensible place!!!

After a successful weekend finding the graves for 5 of my great-grandparents, I would really like to try and track down two of the three remaining (my other great-grandad is proving really elusive and can’t even find a death ref for him!!). I have the death certificates for both my great-grandmothers on my father’s side and this is the other information I know: Annie Mills died 27th October 1918 of influenza and ‘complications’ at 50 Melbourne Road, West Ham. Annie was married to George Mills, a local grocer who survived her and lived to the age of 90. Ada Butt died 23rd August 1918 of a cerebral haemourrage at 71 Ivy Lane, Hoxton – this cert was issued by the coroner 2 days later, but I don’t think this should make any difference. Ada was married to Edward Henry Thomas Butt – on the death cert she is shown as ‘wife of Edward Henry Thomas Butt, House Decorator – now a soldier’. I suspect that this would mean that he wasn’t around to arrange a funeral and it would have fallen to my grandfather who would have been 17 at the time. Does anyone have any idea where I might start looking for information as to where either of them might be buried and which churches/registration districts I am looking at now, as I am completely stumped? Any ideas/suggestions gratefully received. Many thanks Looby

see below - sorry have been off line for a bit, but I really could do with some help on this if anyone has any ideas.
