kiterunner 08-06-10 23:05

That sounds exciting; I hope they're the cemeteries where my rellies are!

vswells 09-06-10 20:10

I see that I shall have to have another look for my lot now. I have never been able to find any one. It's nice that there is now a central location for burial records in London. I found the City of London burials don't go far enough.

New records for Islington and Camden
 
http://www.deceasedonline.com/

From their e-mail -

"Burial and cremation records dating from 1854 for the boroughs of Islington and Camden in central north London are now on Deceased Online. Two conjoined cemeteries, St Pancras and Islington, form the largest single cemetery in London and, in burial numbers, the largest in the UK.
Of the 800,000 burial records, approximately 70% of these are available immediately with the remainder to be uploaded within the next 3 to 4 months. The 575,000 records currently available comprise nearly 362,000 for the Islington section between 1854 and 1945 and the remaining 213,000 for the St Pancras section are for 1854 to 1898, and 1905 to 1911. Also available now are 46,500 records from Islington Crematorium which date back to 1937. The 8,500 most recent cremation records will be added in the next few months, together with the remaining cemetery records.

The cemeteries and crematorium serve a large catchment area across Central and North London and will therefore be a major research resource. The burial records are in the form of scans of registers; grave details indicating all occupants are available immediately for St Pancras Cemetery, and for Islington Cemetery will follow in the near future. The cremation records include scans of registers.

Notable burials include Henry Croft, the original Pearly King; violinist and conductor Sir Eugene Aynsley Goossens, John Hickey (survivor of the charge of the Light Brigade complete with a memorial erected by, among others, Jerome K Jerome); MP and industrialist Alfred Mond, interred in a stunning mausoleum; recipients of the Victoria Cross and hundreds of other war graves; Ford Maddox Brown, the Pre-Raphaelite painter; and Cora Crippen (aka Belle Elmore), alleged victim of Dr Harvey Crippen.

Over the next few months, maps of areas in the cemetery indicating grave locations will be uploaded together with photographs of many notable memorials and headstones.


The Deceased Online database for London is now over 1.1 million including the Borough areas of Islington, Camden, Havering and Merton. Many more records for other areas in London will be added in the near future."

ElizabethHerts 03-12-10 21:16

Joan, many, many thanks!

I have just found my 2xgt grandparents' burials -

Henry William BOnd 1882
Eliza Bond 1900
both at Hampstead Cemetery
buried with her daughter from her first marriage - Eliza Anne Sharp
and her daughter's husband - John Harrison Sharp

ElizabethHerts 03-12-10 21:36

resolved

kiterunner 03-12-10 23:20

Ooh, thanks very much for that, Joan. My grandfather's half-brother is on there and I bet I'll find loads more of mine.

kiterunner 03-12-10 23:27

Agh, it broke just as I was trying to buy credits! Glad to say I hadn't put my credit card number in yet.

kiterunner 04-12-10 19:24

I found loads of my relatives on there (Islington Cemetery) but it doesn't give you the section and grave number which you need to know to find the actual graves. But I found some info online which says Islington Council are planning to upload that information by February next year, so maybe I'll have a trip down to London to visit some graves next spring!

I have contacted them (Islington Cemetery) before to get the info but I found so many of my relatives I would be embarrassed to send them so many names to look up!

New Records for Aberdeen
 
http://www.deceasedonline.com/

From their newsletter -

"Deceased Online, the UK's only website dedicated to statutory burial and cremation records, has increased it's database with the addition of a further 105,000 burial records for Aberdeen City. Deceased Online already has nearly 25,000 burial records for Scotland's third largest city so this will increase the data size to almost 130,000.

The new data is for St Peter's Cemetery and Churchyard for the period 1830 - 1951 and comprises scans of the original burial registers and details on occupants of graves. The data represents approximately 70% of all burials within the Cemetery and Churchyard for this period and others will be added over the next few months. Further records before 1830 will also be included on Deceased Online later this year.

The existing records for Aberdeen City on www.deceasedonline.com are for Grove Cemetery, Nellfield Cemetery, Old Machar Churchyard and St Clement's Churchyard.

Eventually there will be nearly 200,000 burial records for Aberdeen City on the website and further areas of Scotland will also be added during this year. "

ElizabethHerts 05-02-11 08:18

Joan, I just got the same e-mail! I wonder if any of my Scottish lot are on there?

I wanted to correct their spelling!:d Wait until Gwynne spots "it's database"!

ElizabethHerts 05-02-11 09:21

It's temporarily unavailable! I was in the middle of browsing some results for one of my surnames and it couldn't cope any more. I think everyone got the e-mail at the same time.

kiterunner 20-02-11 14:52

Ooh, they seem to have added the grave references for Islington Cemetery at last, and I still have some unexpired credits!

JayG 20-02-11 19:29

It's great to see more records added even tho not for the areas of my research.

Wish they would give an idea what the 'Nearly 2 million further records are due to be added from another 13 authorities' covers, I suppose it's just a matter of wait & see.

maggie_4_7 20-02-11 22:23

Brilliant I found 5 of OH's ancestors in St Pancras.

Well documented too, address and age.

Website Chnages
 
Website Improvements!
Deceased Online is delighted to announce a range of improvements to the website, and to bring a new type of cemetery record to our database
Researching gets easier!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

We have added a comprehensive list of the questions we are most frequently asked by users, with answers to help you use the site better, and hints and tips to improve your searching. These are accessible from the new "Help/FAQs" top menu item. When you click the "Contact us" link on the bottom menu bar, you will be directed to the FAQs page first; but if you can't find an answer there, or you want to contact us for any other reason, you always have the option to email us.

Improved Search Results page

We have introduced several new features here:

You can now drop down a list of similar sounding surnames to select from.
You can now change the order in which results are displayed: Name of Deceased or Burial/Cremation Date. We are hoping to add further options soon.
You can now select the number of results to be displayed per page.
The Next/Previous page handling at the bottom of the page has been improved.
More explanation and examples

On the Burial/Cremation Register Summary page, against each type of further information available (register scan, computer record, grave details, photo, map) we've added an "about..." link. Click on this to display a page describing just what you can expect with this record type, giving you all the information you need before making a purchase.

Re-viewing period extended

The period during which you can view documents after initially purchasing access to them has been extended from 28 days to 6 months!

Collections - a new type of data and a new way of searching!

Deceased Online is delighted to announce that the website is now able to host a completely new type of data -- collections. These are what they say, collections of records, but ones that don't fit into our usual method of searching, because they are not necessarily indexable in the same way, and are sometimes best searched by browsing.

Collections are primarily offered to Deceased Online by independent parties (not burial or cremation authorities) such as researchers compiling, photographing and/or transcribing lists of old records, or cemetery memorials for example. Access to such collections may be purely by purchasing the whole collection and browsing; but in some cases searching by deceased's name and date is also available.

As our first such contributor we are delighted to welcome Scottish Monumental Inscriptions , who are initially putting onto Deceased Online all of their 90,000 headstone and memorial photographs and searchable transcriptions. These date from 1566 and are from 150 cemeteries across Scotland.

For more details see the Help page entry on Collections under Searching, or click here.

JayG 19-04-11 20:59

Thanks for the heads up Elizabeth.

I've just found a cousin of my great grandfather & his wife at Cheshunt Cemetery.

ElizabethHerts 19-04-11 22:02

Jay, that's great!

I'm just amazed at how many resources there are now. When I started my research there were only a few.

Nell 22-04-11 16:50

It's amazing, Elizabeth.

I remember when I got going, there were only two censuses available on Ancestry, hardly any parish records - and certainly the idea you could see a digitised image of an original register was beyond imagining.

The familysearch site just had a transcript of 1881 and a lot of records which were often guesswork.
