London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: Holy Trinity C. of E. School Vauxhall early 1900s

Try
"Aim25" website, click Education.

Under Education Officer's Department -Division 8, a Holy Trinity C of. E School is listed.  If the school log books have been deposited, other papers may have too.  You can often get a pretty good insight into character of the Head through the entries they make in the log books.
Hope this is the correct school and that you can find what you are looking for.

Surrey / Re: Brick Lane Baptist Church, Kingston upon Thames
« on: Sunday 11 August 13 14:00 BST (UK)  »
I didn't make clear the location of the church. It is about halfway along Union Street next to the small building which used to be the town mortuary (next to the Memorial Gardens).

(The United Reform Church on the corner of Eden Street and Union Street was originally a Congregational Church and was set up by a group who broke away from the Brick Lane Baptists.)

I hope you are successful on your photographic expedition.  I have a small collection of books about Old Kingston so if I can help in any way just let me know.

Surrey / Re: Brick Lane Baptist Church, Kingston upon Thames

Known until 1834 as Back Lane, it then became Brick Lane. 

After much campaigning by the Baptist members, Brick Lane then had another name change about 1865 to Union Street....running from the Memorial Gardens to Eden Street.

There is an small, but interesting section about this in The Kingston Book by June Sampson.

 If you do not find a burial, the nearest crematorium to Cobham is Leatherhead. Further away are Woking, Guildford and Kingston upon Thames.

I do not know whether the cemetery attached to St Andrew's Church would have been closed by the 1930s.  Cobham has a separate cemetery and I am afraid that I can't say when it opened.

Records of burials at the church will be available from the church or from Surrey Record Office, at Woking. The SRO has copies on microfiche.
However details of the burials at the municipal cemetery may be available from Elmbridge Borough Council, at Esher, if you sent them the details. 

Hope this will point you in the right direction.

James Tweedie worker and Elizabeth Borthwick a daughter named Marie

W. Robert Gray of Rickarton(?) Alexander Borthwick of Hallanhill (?) John Gorvan merchant
