East London burial records - Deceased Online
 

"Newham is latest London borough
to add burial records

Historic West Ham Cemetery dates back to 1857 -
all records available now

East London's West Ham Cemetery, with all 180,000+ records now available, is the latest major London cemetery on www.deceasedonline.com
The historic cemetery, dating from 1857, was one of the first publicly-owned urban cemeteries to open in London following the Burial Act of 1852. It features some fascinating graves and memorials.
Data comprises computerised records, a searchable index, details of all occupants in each grave and cemetery section maps indicating grave locations. See database coverage section on website for full details.
West Ham is the only cemetery managed by Newham Council which joins a growing list of local authorities to have added their data to Deceased Online. The London database now comprises more than 1.5 million burial and cremation records with many more to come soon.


Coming soon on Deceased Online -
records for an historic northwest English city"

Further details:

"London Borough of Newham, West Ham Cemetery, Cemetery Road, Forest Gate, London, E7 9DG.

Approximately 180,000 burial records are available for the London Borough of Newham, West Ham Cemetery, East London.

The data available comprise computerised index records, details of graves including names of all those buried in each grave, and cemetery section maps to locate graves.

Note that only the index records are available, and not the full burial register records, as regrettably these were irrecoverably damaged due to flooding."

Thank you for that update.

I have just found 4 of OH's direct ancesters in a family plot complete with burial dates and details of the grave.

His grandparents buried both sets of their parents in the same grave!

Thank you Joan.

I do check every week but came up trumps this week and found some information in the West Ham Cemetery.

Maggie, what a great result! I hope your OH was suitably impressed.

I haven't told him yet he is at the Gym I am now wondering if it has a headstone instact I would think so. I don't know what state West Ham cemetary is in these days.

I was a bit surprised though that both sets of Great Grandparents are in the same grave.

It's certainly different! Was it cheaper to bury more people in one plot? Although it must surely have been a bigger than normal plot originally?

I can't find any of mine in the new records - even the ones that died in West Ham!:mad: I think our family favoured Manor Park.

Blimey most of OH ancestors are in West Ham :eek:

I put in one name in a family and up they all pop in family graves.

I have now found over 14 burials and cremations there will be more.

I told OH and as is usual his expression was 'oh really' and then quickly scurried off I think he could see what I was thinking...

A day out in West Ham :)

Don't think i'll have any but interesting to see they've got the 'coming soon' info now.

I don't usually find anything I think over the last few years I have found 3 because it was St Pancras. Like Sue most of my family favoured Manor Park and also Chingford and Woodgrange.

But these were all for OH and were family graves so once I found one I found a lot more although I found a few on their own the total by the time I decided to stop was 22. I even found a couple of spinster Aunts born in early 1800s buried with neices and sometimes nephews.

Still cannot find my Grandfather died in 1939 East Ham must be under the patio !

Would he be in the East Ham cemetery though?

All records for the five cemeteries and one crematorium managed by Cheshire West and Chester Council in North West England are included on the Deceased Online website.
Of the total 185,000 records, over 65% are available immediately. The only outstanding data are pre-1953 records for Overleigh Cemetery and these should be completed by early Spring.

Thanks, Kite! Just found best mate's grandparents:)

Plumstead Cemetery (South-East London again) has just been added.

Greenwich Cemetery now complete.

I've just realised I never looked at the Romford burials Doh!
I've just found a 21 month old cousin who died from meningitis in 1938, and my aunt's ashes are buried with her. My aunt died in Southampton in 1987 and I don't recall my mum saying aunt's ashes were buried with her daughter.

Woolwich Cemetery has been added.

They are now adding Bolton cemeteries and crematorium - Tonge cemetery is available now and the others will be added over the next few weeks.

This is the one I've been waiting for! I've already found my maternal grandparents, great grandparents and an aunt. But I knew they were there - there are probably many more too.
Off to look for more :)

WOW

That is mostly where all mine are.

Thank you ElizabethHerts.

Edit: Yep just found my grandmother and two of her sons straight off...

So pleased that it's helping you.

Well I sort of knew where she was I was at the funeral but I was only 14 and it was a bit of a blur and also knew my uncles were close by but didn't have much documentation to be honest and the graves aren't marked - they are common graves. I could have asked for a burial search at Manor Park but never have to many to ask for its £5 a search - there are about 25 I am interested in - so I am happy that I now have some documentation that I can pass onto her other grandchildren who keep asking me "where is she buried".

Maggie, it's great that you now know her resting place.

Manor Park Crematorium has now been added.

And Manor Park Cemetery records for 1898-1930 have just been added.

I knew nothing about this site and have found my fathers baby sister who was buried in Manor Park in 1914 and his brother who was buried there in 1954.

I know that they were poor but was astonished to find that there were 24 other people(babies?) in the 1914 grave buried between July & October. It sounds morbid but how would that work in practice. Would this have been one large paupers grave that kept being reopened. So much importance was placed on a proper burial that surely the family would have attended the burial even if they had no money.

Even more surprising was the brother in 1954 was buried with five others who all had different surnames, non of which I recognied from my tree. He was married with children. Is it likely this also might have been a paupers grave?

Does anyone have any thoughts or advice that would clarify this for me?

Thank you

They have now completed Manor Park Cemetery (East London) by adding records for the period 25th March 1875 to 15th December 1898.
