The East Surrey Family History Society has transcribed all the monumental inscriptions on the gravestones and I have looked through the records but Mary Ann Hayter does not appear. Bear in mind that only those graves with headstones would have been recorded and she may not have had a headstone. In which case the grave will be unmarked and it will be difficult to find the grave unless you can obtain a plot number from the grave book and an accurate plan.

Is it possible that she was buried elsewhere?

Hi Gayle,

I've now checked the Carshalton burial register as well and it certainly does show Mary Ann as buried in the churchyard. I suspect, like you, that the R0 p42 does refer to a grave number, as all the other entries have similar but different references. One part, probably R0, will be an area of the churchyard, while the other could be a plot number within that area. With luck the church should be able to tell you where the grave is as they should have a plan of the plots.

The Serum Institute had been run by London County Council, even though the area was not in London, but was empty by 1943 when the site was transferred to the Wellcome Foundation. As you may know, Wellcome is a large organisation that does research into drugs and other medical matters and is a major producer. I think the buildings on the site have now been taken over by another company but the Wellcome Trust is a major charity and they have an extensive library. I do know that they have kept extensive records and it is likely that they would have information on the Serum Institute and possibly those who lived in the cottages.

Good luck with tracking down her grave and finding out more about Mary Ann.

The death record does have recorded RO p42

When you say death record, do you mean the death certificate? If so, this isn't likely to show where she was buried as it is issued before a burial can be arranged.

Read my posting above. It's the burial register from the church, not a death certificate.
