I don't know if Frederick Newman was any relation to my GreatGrandmother Frances Newman or not. Her husband Thomas Louis Newman Died in 1917 at 5 Mount Pleasant Cottage, Loampit Vale, Lewisham, and he might be Buried there. Also their twin babies, Susan and Rose might be there?

From deceasedonline, Thomas Louis Newman was buried on 17-Mar-1917 in a grave with 31 others in one of the Lewisham cemeteries. According to an Ancestry tree, there was just one daughter, Susan Rose Ellen Newman, born & died in 1911 who could be the one deceasedonline shows buried on 2-Aug-1911 in Greenwich with 11 others.

Many Thanks Chris, for the further information.

According to my late Grandmother, Susan was a twin, but perhaps the other one didn't survive for long? They were her younger sisters, and she often talked about them, because she said that twins 'ran in her family'.

According to this family tree there was a younger sister, Frances junior, born in 1900, who disappears without trace after 1901. Perhaps that's who your grandmother remembered? Otherwise, maybe Susan had a stillborn twin, not recorded.

My late Grandmother Beatrice Minnie Newman was Born in Greenwich in 1902.

She had a half brother, Walter Oliver, and two full brothers, Thomas and Alfred. I think the sisters all died in early childhood.

Romilly.

Debra,

With a bit of invaluable help, I have located where Sarah Jupp's grave is. It is unfortunately unmarked.
I need to take a couple of photos, as the ones' I took to map the area out aren't suitable. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that I can post photos on this board, so can't share them. I will be in touch with some photos and location information later in the week.

For anyone else looking for early graves in Hither Green, the First Ground appears to start at the old Verdant Lane entrance and follow up past the C of E chapel (Plot A). The Jupp grave is in one of the Third Ground areas and is down at the bottom of the old part, in what is now Plot C.

I live several hours drive away from Brockley Cemetery and trying to plan a trip but firstly trying to locate graves to visit.
I have a GG Louisa Adelaide Sheppard [nee Bale] born 1878 & Died 1921 and buried in section Z plot 344.
I think I have found the section on a small map but it looks completely overgrown compared to the rest of the cemetery.
Does anyone know if there are lots of headstones in that section?
Or is anyone able to locate it for me and take a picture of it?
