Hi Karen

Hackney council does not keep that type of record so you will need to contact the local cemeteries directly.

There's a list on this website with telephone numbers


http://www.hackney.gov.uk/ce-burial-and-grave-details-335.htm

It does help that you have his name and both his birth and death dates.

As far as I can tell, he won't be at Abney Park as that closed for new burials in the 1970's.
