Nan says shes sure nearest cemetery is Ilford Cemetery. Does this make sense. Not doubting her but at 86 she is a little forgetful and confused.

Hi Dawnie, Chadwell Heath is very close to Romford and there is a big cemetary in Crow Lane, Romford. Marilyn

Marilyn thanks, just don't want to write to the wrong one as can't find a death record for Gt Gt Gran.

Don't know if this will be any help but there is another cemetary in Whalebone Lane which is near Chadwell Heath. My husband had to find out about a grave there and they were very helpful, when I manage to get a reply from him at work I'll ask who he phoned and let you know. I so hope this helps you as it will be the first time I've been able to offer help to someone else, it's usually me doing the asking!!!

Julie Thanks will try all of them till I find my elusive Gt Gt Gran

Julie Thanks for them can see a job lot of letters coming on.

I used to live in Chadwell Heath, got married there too. My nan and grandad are both buried in the Chadwell Heath cemetery in Whalebone Lane.

Diane Eustace Road was where grans aunt lived and her grandparents lived and she lived with them til she was 14 the next road over at Broomfield Cottage. Apparently Nan used to take the flowers her granddad grew to the end of their road and sell them to the commuters. One of the uncles was a Butchers at Carters don't suppose that is still around though

Be careful, I live in Romford but my Gran lived in Chadwell heath but was buried in City of London Cemetery in Ilford, which was always known as Ilford cemetery. Good luck Tracey

Tracey Gran is certain its Ilford Cemetery so maybe that one. Gt grans birth was registered in Romford but her siblings were all Saffron Walden. Talk about confusing

long time since i lived in essex but there is one opposite what i think is now bowling alley on way to collier row.directions are from gants hill ,.along southend road to whalebone lane traffic lights turn left and its about 1/4 mile on left. i think it may be Jewish.

The one I'm talking about is at the turn off from the Moby Dick traffic lights. My nan and grandad lived in Kenneth Rd. Which I've just looked on a map is off Eustace Road. What a small world!! Dianex
