Hi


If you have checked all the cemeteries in Southwark and the adjacent boroughs see the link for the full list plus crematoriums with their dates of opening (very few crematoriums in the whole country in 1913)

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,403485.0.html

Find a Grave has only a small coverage in the London area considering there are at least 150 possible cemeteries (full list in link).

Have you also checked Brookwood Cemetery? If he had been buried by the workhouse I would certainly have suggested checking that cemetery first. Is that the cemetery you mean 'and the cemetery where Mint Street Occupants were taken to'.


Regards

Valda

Thanks - I have checked Brookwood and no luck! Will look at the others you have suggested. My grandmother and two of her daughters plus my Step Grandad and the husband of one of her daughters are buried at Nunhead. I tried there with no success.

His family came from the East End so that maybe another area to check.
