Southgate Road is in the north of London, in an area called Cannonbury, near Shoreditch. It's quite an old area of London but doubt the actual buidling still exists, as a result of re-development

NEW SOUTHGATE CEMETERY

thats my grandfather but were im getting confused is he bought agrave in 1900 i think to bury his daughter,but in 1918 hes in war grave behind his parents headstone who i may add have got his name on there headstone,but how can he be buried in the grave he bought in 1900 and be in the one in 1918,im just dont no

My guess is he's buried there (i.e., with his folks), and there's also a war memorial in the cemetery commemorating all the war dead buried there, and he's named on both that and his grave marker.

Obviously he is only in one grave.
He seems to be mentioned on two headstones/memorials.

it could be as the headstone behind his parents is white with cross on and emblem of his regtment with his name and number on,ive ask someone on on photo exchange if they could take photo of the grave in 1900,could i ask what does ESQ mean after his name,and thank you all for your help

It's short for esquire - it's a sort of honorific that guys add after their name to give them a bit of class. Mr is a more common one.

just wonder as my grandfather was stock broker,that address above on the 1901,would it give who was living there at that time,just a thought

This is no. 4 Parkside Villas but cannot find no. 3 yet.
1901
Thos Bagnall Read Ann abt 1860 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Head Wood Green, Middlesex

right i wonder what Langford HO just before 3 Parkside villas,it was what the cemetery sent me,i have most address were they lived ,but not the above mention,thank for for taking the time to try and help me

Hi Dutch,

I have been following this thread with great interest as I come from Wood Green. I was trying to fathom out where Southgate Road was as I don't remember there being one in Wood Green. Having followed the census pages highlighted by Jim, there is reference to Maryland Road, and I think Arcadian Villas, which is now Arcadian Gardens ( one of my best friends lived there in the 1960's). I would think, although I'm obviously not sure, that Parkside Villas would have been roughly where Woodside Road is now. This is next to Woodside Park, a big park where I spent a lot of my childhood!
