Catholic burials

[Greaves]

Hi

I am trying to locate a number of Catholic burials in the Islington and Tottenham areas, varying in date from 1850 to 1920.

General searches on Ancestry and/or FindMyPast are not finding them. Can anyone suggest more specific indexes to search?

I also have some baptisms to find. So once again can anyone suggest some good places to begin a search?

RC churches generally reluctant to publish / make available old registers.

As to buria, local at the website of the local council(s) to see if the burial registers are online, or if not, where you may search them

They mostly have cemeteries, which have unconsecrated areas for Catholics and other faiths.

Have you tried GENUKI for a list of Catholic churches in those areas? It might say if they had graveyards and where registers are, if known. It also has locations of cemeteries. There are linked maps with church locations. GENUKI is a volunteer website; coverage of an area varies.

Many Catholic churches in towns and cities late C19th onwards didn't have graveyards.

Catholic Family History Society have transcriptions & indexes of some registers for sale.

Catholic or of other faiths were often buried in the municipal cemetery.
Many London RC churches had small or no graveyards so catholic dead would be buried  at nearest available  graveyards. Or in the most unexpeected places..
My granny    R C born Ireland ,  was buried in Hayes Middlesex  municipal cemetery. Her husband is  in  Slindon Churchyard  C of E and one daughter R C,  born Ireland is over the road from her father in Slindon RC church graveyard.

If they were poor or died in a workhouse, they might be buried at the public expense in a public (usually) multi occupancy grave in either the local parish churchyard earlier, or in one of the municipal cemeteries as these started to open during the 19th century. There were some specific Catholic cemeteries where more well off Catholics might have been buried such as St Patrick's in Waltham Forest and St. Mary's, Kensal Green

If it was a municipal cemetery, be aware that they were often buried some distance from where they actually lived, i.e. in the City of London cemetery in Ilford in East London

or Brookwood Cemetery or the London Necropolis in Brookwood, Surrey which had its own railway line to bring people (dead & alive) from London
