I have been looking for a ocuple of burials of children who died in the Westminster and also the Kensington areas after 1854 when the Burial act stopped internments in London Churchyards.
One died in 1863 in Westminster St Margarets and the other after 1866 but this one could have been in Kensington.
I know that the Kensington burials transfered to Hanwell Cemetery and have checked their records from their first records of 1867 onwards but I am confused by the Westminster burial in 1863.
Where would Westminster St Margaret deaths have been buried between 1854 and 1867 please and the Kensington Burials between 1854 and 1867?
Thank you

What about Brookwood, Woking. There was a special train(Necropolis) just for the purpose of transporting the London dead. Brookwood had different areas alloted to Churches who couldn't bury their own. They have a grave search facility too.
