Yes, always worth a look, as they keep adding. A pay to view site, they told me at the family history fair at Olympia last year that they were hoping to introduce a yearly subscription scheme, will have to ask again, lol.

Searching is FREE, and can be restricted as required to country, region, county, or individual burial authority or crematorium. If you register with Deceased Online here, you will be able to purchase credits online, which you can spend to access further information associated with any of the found records.

Depending on what has been provided by the originating authority, the further information might include:

burial and cremation register entries in computerised form*
digital scans of register pages*
scans of book of remembrance pages
grave details and other interments in a grave (key to making new family links)
pictures of graves and memorials
maps showing the exact locations of graves and memorials.

(above taken from Website)


That could be a communal one Margaret, you would need to get credits to view :-)
From Cambridge Cemetery, and Crematorium I got address, occupation, and grave number details, also with Cremations, details of ashes scattering.

Well worth a look.

Thank you Chris.......... Will See how much money left in the kitty when finished with this xmas lark & then have a look.... I have these people well documented on the census but this would put them to bed, so to speak.

I have purchased some

One tells me address at time of death, age at time of death, date buried and by whom

The other (which is like the record you refer to gives date, name ,age address,day and hour of burial and what class of burial and the name and address of the firm of undertakers , which I thought was quite interesting

Gives you the cemetery grave reference (if you go on the cemetery website for Islington records you can see roughly where it is) and the names of the other people buried in same plot

Hope that is of help

I have bought scans previously for Tunbridge Wells Cemetery from this site and one scan was ' with 3 other burials'. They were all family members dating from 1940s to 1980s added to the original grave and listed together in the register. Noone in the family had remembered.
It gave the deceased details, ages & addresses but no details of the 'purchaser'. That was blanked out (data protection).

I have bought a couple of the London records this time from 19th century and got the burial register scan. Very similar to the Ancestry burial scans but of course not currently on Ancestry. It gave the name, age & address but no details of living relatives. The address was enough to tie everyone together and I was very chuffed.

And I've found more that tie in with the London Poor Law Records.
It's very satisfying to put the family together 100+ years on!

Well pleased.

oh wow, thanks for this, have found a whole heap of my London Ancestors on there.

Might have to purchase credits.

Most of mine only have the Burial register scan

and one has Grave details and 23 other burials, what type of information is likely to be included here.

Does that mean 23 other people are buried along with this ancestor??? i.e. most likely related??

thanks

Janet Report 9 Dec 2010 07:58

Not necessarily related no, mine aren't family members but of course yours could be

see second part of my post above as to what it shows

When you buy credits... How does it work please...... individual scan or a block to use. Site as far as I can tell doesn't make that clear. I only have one family who are likely to be in the same grave



Thank you

Hi Margaret

My records 'cost' 15 credits so if you pay the minimum £3 you get 2 scans to view and save. And your credits last 6 months in your account.

Hope this helps
