Does anyone hold any records of Cementaries in Reading for the early 1900s?

Best wishes

Brig

I can help you but I need more data?  Give me a surname!
You have a choice of London Road (consecrated), London Road (unconsecrated) or All Hallows Crematorium.

I am NOT a local and unaware of the local cemeteries. I am only quoting off the National Burial Index. All Hallows, Reading sounds a good match? Give me a surname and let me check it for you.

Hi,
Just a reminder that the National Burial Index as other such Indexes carries a copyright, so take care as to how and where you publish lists of information from them for general consumption.

There is another cemetery in Caversham, not in use from the 1990s I think. It's in Victoria Road, off Hemdean Road, and seems to be called either Victoria Road cemetery or Caversham cemetery.

If you give Berkshire FHS a ring they might do a lookup for you.
