Hello, I have been on Abney Park Cemetery website, and I have found an ancestor on it. I noticed that they have a research service. Does anyone know what information you get if you pay for this? Lucia

I have visited Abney Park and found my great grandparents grave! It is now a nature reserve, but there are 'cemetary' staff on-site who are very helpful. I would recommend that you find their number and give them a ring as I am sure they would be only too pleased to give you details. It is a lovely setting, but some of it is obviously a bit wild. Well worth a trip in person if you are in London. Maz. XX
