Help looking for grandparent's burial area

[elanorf]

Hi

Hope someone can help...

I'm looking to find my partners nan and grandad's burial location.

I have their death certificates and have looked into the surrounding boroughs cemeteries and crematoriums with no luck.

I'm really unsure what to do next.

Hope someone can nudge me in the right direction

Hi Elanor
Welcome to RootsChat.
If you put some details on here like names, where and when they died etc. people will try to help. Also useful if you know whether they were from a different place earlier in their lives - both my grandparents lived in North Lancashire in later life then were taken over 40 miles to be buried in their original home town.
Regards
Paula

Hi...sorry about no putting the details down.

Ok:

Name: Louisa Mabel Cassidy (maiden name Cordwell)
Died: 5th April 1979
Location: London Borough of Lambeth
Born: Hoxton New Town, London

Name: Patrick James or James Patrick Cassidy
Died: 20th April 1954
Location: London Borough of Lambeth
Born: probably Shorditch area. (can't find his birth certificate)

They were both Roman Catholic's and I've searched the few catholic cemetaries around London

Hi

For a long shot you could try the local papers to see if they had an obituary or in the birth's, marriage's and death's column. You might be able to find copys at the local library.

Do you have copies of their death certificates as this will give a better idea of where in Lambeth they lived & died.

Lambeth is a very large borough and as it borders another very large borough (Southwark) you may find that they were not even buried in Lambeth.  And it also borders Wandsworth another very large borogh.

So you see you need to tie down where they died to see where they may have been buried.  Also as you state both from the other side of the river, they may still have had strong family connections there and even be buried over there.

Don't assume that they must have been buried in a Roman Catholic Cemetery.  West Norwood Cemetery in Lambeth, for instance, accommodates people of many different faiths and none, it has consecrated and unconsecrated areas. and many Roman Catholics are buried there.
