Family history on line has some burial records for the Sussex area, or otherwise you could ask people to do a look up on the NBI which quite a few people have that are on here. Best bet is to contact the local council for the area your interested in. Good luck hunting. Karen

Abney Park in London has a terrific website. Many famous non-conformists are buried there, as well as ordinary folk. I believe the area is also known for its parkland. Just type in "Abney Park Cemetary" on your Search Engine and enjoy exploring this interesting place. Happy hunting. Yvonne Garry, Dundas, Ontario, Canada [email protected]

This site is about helping the genealogy community find information about their ancestors. Cemeteries are an excellent source for genealogy, and are especially prone to surprises! Many of the cemeteries in this directory are linked to transcriptions entered by volunteers, so please remember to thank the individuals who took the time to prepare them (and by all means, add your own information, as well!) http://www.daddezio(.)com/cemetery/ remove the ( ) from the address Judy

moretonhampsteadtrust[.]org. I hope Ive got that right, remove brackets, go to archive section, they have a marvellous burial list for that area in Devon. They also have births and marriages and the census from 1841 through to 1901 all free!!! shame there aren't other sites like theirs. Christina
