william henry barr died 21 january 1875 he lived at rain storm street,nr goswell street,holborn,where was he burried his wife rebecca died  1854 we think she was burried at st andrews holborn.burials was stopped there due to viaduct

Rebecca's burial is shown as on 3.9.1854 - aged 36 - St Andrew Holborn

Nothing for William in 1875

[CaroleW]

Freebmd shows him as 47 in 1875 which makes him 10yrs younger than Rebecca - would that be correct?

He re-married in 1858 to Harriet Albra

A burial in London in 1875 would almost certainly have been in a cemetery, not churchyard.

Check with Deceased Online to see if they have scanned or transcribed the burial register. It should be annotated if there is a headstone.

If not, contact Islington cemeteries with the name, date and cemetery and ask them to check their records, they may ask for a fee though.
