Pancras cemetery in 1861

[Retriever]

Apologies if this has been asked before.

An ancestor was buried in Pancras cemetery, Camden, in 1861. Is this St Pancras cemetery in Finchley?

You can check the register for St Pancras Cemetery on Deceasedonline, though I've heard that it wasn't well kept and there are omissions. You have to pay to be certain, though you might be able to infer it from the local authority name given in the free lookup. Paying will give you the plot number, but be warned that much of the cemetery is heavily overgrown and other areas have been cleared and relandscaped for new burials or ashes plots.

Yes, it serves Islington and Camden but it is located in Finchley (present-day borough of Barnet).

As Ruskie's link notes, the churchyard at St Pancras Old Church (present-day borough of Camden) was closed in 1854.
