London German burials
« on: Wednesday 10 January 07 19:24 GMT (UK) »
I just discovered that there are a great many Germans buried at Abney Park Cemetery in Hackney, probably because the German Hospital was in Hackney.  This site is searchable:

I actually found someone I was looking for!, and another family of interest to me.

(It is mentioned in Biker's cemetery list, but thought it might be useful here.)

Thanks for the hint. Not too helpful to me directly, but glad to know of it anyway. Cheers. Ratty2
