From their e-mail -

"Burial and cremation records dating from 1854 for the boroughs of Islington and Camden in central north London are now on Deceased Online. Two conjoined cemeteries, St Pancras and Islington, form the largest single cemetery in London and, in burial numbers, the largest in the UK.
Of the 800,000 burial records, approximately 70% of these are available immediately with the remainder to be uploaded within the next 3 to 4 months. The 575,000 records currently available comprise nearly 362,000 for the Islington section between 1854 and 1945 and the remaining 213,000 for the St Pancras section are for 1854 to 1898, and 1905 to 1911. Also available now are 46,500 records from Islington Crematorium which date back to 1937. The 8,500 most recent cremation records will be added in the next few months, together with the remaining cemetery records.

The cemeteries and crematorium serve a large catchment area across Central and North London and will therefore be a major research resource. The burial records are in the form of scans of registers; grave details indicating all occupants are available immediately for St Pancras Cemetery, and for Islington Cemetery will follow in the near future. The cremation records include scans of registers.

Notable burials include Henry Croft, the original Pearly King; violinist and conductor Sir Eugene Aynsley Goossens, John Hickey (survivor of the charge of the Light Brigade complete with a memorial erected by, among others, Jerome K Jerome); MP and industrialist Alfred Mond, interred in a stunning mausoleum; recipients of the Victoria Cross and hundreds of other war graves; Ford Maddox Brown, the Pre-Raphaelite painter; and Cora Crippen (aka Belle Elmore), alleged victim of Dr Harvey Crippen.

Over the next few months, maps of areas in the cemetery indicating grave locations will be uploaded together with photographs of many notable memorials and headstones.

The Deceased Online database for London is now over 1.1 million including the Borough areas of Islington, Camden, Havering and Merton. Many more records for other areas in London will be added in the near future."

I found loads of my relatives on there (Islington Cemetery) but it doesn't give you the section and grave number which you need to know to find the actual graves. But I found some info online which says Islington Council are planning to upload that information by February next year, so maybe I'll have a trip down to London to visit some graves next spring!

Kate, I would think they will provide the information - I had two lots of information for my Bond ancestors.
Firstly, the page from the burial register.
Secondly, this:

From their newsletter -

"Deceased Online, the UK's only website dedicated to statutory burial and cremation records, has increased it's database with the addition of a further 105,000 burial records for Aberdeen City. Deceased Online already has nearly 25,000 burial records for Scotland's third largest city so this will increase the data size to almost 130,000.

The new data is for St Peter's Cemetery and Churchyard for the period 1830 - 1951 and comprises scans of the original burial registers and details on occupants of graves. The data represents approximately 70% of all burials within the Cemetery and Churchyard for this period and others will be added over the next few months. Further records before 1830 will also be included on Deceased Online later this year.

The existing records for Aberdeen City on www.deceasedonline.com are for Grove Cemetery, Nellfield Cemetery, Old Machar Churchyard and St Clement's Churchyard.

Eventually there will be nearly 200,000 burial records for Aberdeen City on the website and further areas of Scotland will also be added during this year. "

Website Improvements!
Deceased Online is delighted to announce a range of improvements to the website, and to bring a new type of cemetery record to our database
Researching gets easier!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

We have added a comprehensive list of the questions we are most frequently asked by users, with answers to help you use the site better, and hints and tips to improve your searching. These are accessible from the new "Help/FAQs" top menu item. When you click the "Contact us" link on the bottom menu bar, you will be directed to the FAQs page first; but if you can't find an answer there, or you want to contact us for any other reason, you always have the option to email us.

Improved Search Results page

We have introduced several new features here:

You can now drop down a list of similar sounding surnames to select from.
You can now change the order in which results are displayed: Name of Deceased or Burial/Cremation Date. We are hoping to add further options soon.
You can now select the number of results to be displayed per page.
The Next/Previous page handling at the bottom of the page has been improved.
More explanation and examples

On the Burial/Cremation Register Summary page, against each type of further information available (register scan, computer record, grave details, photo, map) we've added an "about..." link. Click on this to display a page describing just what you can expect with this record type, giving you all the information you need before making a purchase.

Re-viewing period extended

The period during which you can view documents after initially purchasing access to them has been extended from 28 days to 6 months!

Collections - a new type of data and a new way of searching!

Deceased Online is delighted to announce that the website is now able to host a completely new type of data -- collections. These are what they say, collections of records, but ones that don't fit into our usual method of searching, because they are not necessarily indexable in the same way, and are sometimes best searched by browsing.

Collections are primarily offered to Deceased Online by independent parties (not burial or cremation authorities) such as researchers compiling, photographing and/or transcribing lists of old records, or cemetery memorials for example. Access to such collections may be purely by purchasing the whole collection and browsing; but in some cases searching by deceased's name and date is also available.

As our first such contributor we are delighted to welcome Scottish Monumental Inscriptions , who are initially putting onto Deceased Online all of their 90,000 headstone and memorial photographs and searchable transcriptions. These date from 1566 and are from 150 cemeteries across Scotland.

For more details see the Help page entry on Collections under Searching, or click here.

It's amazing, Elizabeth.

I remember when I got going, there were only two censuses available on Ancestry, hardly any parish records - and certainly the idea you could see a digitised image of an original register was beyond imagining.

The familysearch site just had a transcript of 1881 and a lot of records which were often guesswork.

Data comprises computerised records, a searchable index, details of all occupants in each grave and cemetery section maps indicating grave locations. See database coverage section on website for full details.

The data available comprise computerised index records, details of graves including names of all those buried in each grave, and cemetery section maps to locate graves.

It's certainly different! Was it cheaper to bury more people in one plot? Although it must surely have been a bigger than normal plot originally?

I can't find any of mine in the new records - even the ones that died in West Ham!:mad: I think our family favoured Manor Park.

I don't usually find anything I think over the last few years I have found 3 because it was St Pancras. Like Sue most of my family favoured Manor Park and also Chingford and Woodgrange.

But these were all for OH and were family graves so once I found one I found a lot more although I found a few on their own the total by the time I decided to stop was 22. I even found a couple of spinster Aunts born in early 1800s buried with neices and sometimes nephews.

I could have asked for a burial search at Manor Park but never have to many to ask for its £5 a search - there are about 25 I am interested in - so I am happy that I now have some documentation that I can pass onto her other grandchildren who keep asking me "where is she buried".

26-03-13, 11:20

I knew nothing about this site and have found my fathers baby sister who was buried in Manor Park in 1914 and his brother who was buried there in 1954.

I know that they were poor but was astonished to find that there were 24 other people(babies?) in the 1914 grave buried between July & October. It sounds morbid but how would that work in practice. Would this have been one large paupers grave that kept being reopened. So much importance was placed on a proper burial that surely the family would have attended the burial even if they had no money.

Even more surprising was the brother in 1954 was buried with five others who all had different surnames, non of which I recognied from my tree. He was married with children. Is it likely this also might have been a paupers grave?

Does anyone have any thoughts or advice that would clarify this for me?

Thank you

Can't seem to make the link work it goes down a black hole however I have received an email to inform me that their charges will be going up.

"New data - Bedford, Manchester, London.
Some prices up but discounts doubled on
credit purchases

Deceased Online price rises ... and some reductions too

For over 4 years we have kept document viewing prices fixed at a low rate. Unfortunately, due to increased costs, we can't hold off price increases any longer.

The increases apply to register page scans and computerised register records only; all other prices will remain unchanged. The minimum purchase has been raised in line with this.

The good news is that we are doubling the discounts on quantity credit purchases and more special offers will be available in due course.

The price increases will help us to add more records sooner, which we are sure you will applaud, and to develop the website to incorporate some of our users' excellent ideas.

Searching names on the database is still free.

The price changes will come into effect at 12:00 GMT (13:00 BST) on April 22nd. The new rates can be viewed here.

We hope you agree that Deceased Online offers excellent value for access to its unique database of burial, grave and cremation records, and that its ever-increasing rate of expansion will bring more records of interest to you.

Trafford Council, Greater Manchester
Bereavement Services, Altrincham Crematorium, Whitehouse Lane, Dunham Massey, Altrincham WA14 5RH.

Trafford is one of the 10 metropolitan councils which comprise Greater Manchester and, after Bolton, is the second to have its burial and cremation records on Deceased Online. Trafford itself comprises seven boroughs: Altrincham, Bowdon, Bucklow, Hale, Sale, Stretford and Urmston. Trafford is bordered by Salford to the north and west, Manchester City to the east, Warrington the southwest and Cheshire East to the south.

The Trafford area is world famous as the home to two of the most historic sporting venues: Old Trafford football ground, home of Manchester United, and Old Trafford cricket ground, home of Lancashire Cricket Club and venue for Test Matches and other international cricket matches. The area is also home to the Imperial War Museum, North and the huge Trafford Centre shopping area.

Trafford Council manages five cemeteries and a crematorium:

Dunham Lawn Cemetery
Hale Cemetery (Altrincham)
Sale Cemetery
Stretford Cemetery
Urmston Cemetery
Altrincham Crematorium
Deceased Online will feature records for all burials and cremations which total nearly 300,000. Currently available are:

I found my 2xg-grandparents and 3xg-grandmother are all buried in the same grave in Highgate Cemetery, but it is in "Square 35" which seems to be in the West Cemetery, which apparently can't be visited by unaccompanied members of the public, only on guided tours, and there seems to be no way of finding out exactly where the grave is without paying them £25 - and it would be £40 if I didn't have the grave number and square from Deceased Online.

The West side is a bit precarious but it is well worth it.

I have people buried in Highgate some in the East and some in the West.

I remember that the Cemetery (at least the part we visited) wasn't open to the general public, Kate. We paid a small fee, I think, nothing much. We already had the grave details and a photo of the grave. My great-grandmother and her sister were both buried in 1933. We were lucky that our grave is very close to the entrance and also close to the peripheral railings by the road.

They were very helpful because they had to clear away a lot of undergrowth. I really should go back because there was a tree causing a lot of damage.

Thanks, Kite! It will have been a long time coming.

Am I right in thinking that you don't discover the burial location unless you subscribe? One of best mate's ancestors has suddenly popped up, and Brookwood had been my best guess for a long time for disposing of south London's dead.

You can search and see the date and place of burial but have to either subscribe or buy credits/vouchers to view the details/image. Some images give you details like where died or last address etc and on very rare ocassions next of kin who paid for burial. I have found headstones too but that was Dreghorn Cemetary in Ayrshire and a cemetery in Durham but they are extra credits/vouchers. The most disappointing burial images I have come across is West Ham Cemetary just name and grave reference which on some search listing is shown at the top anyway if I recall correctly.
