Is there anyone here from the Muslim Community of Hounslow who might know where his grave is?

How do I find which graveyard someone has been buried in?


I am a teacher, and a child that I taught two years ago was hit by a car and killed. He was a very special child and I really want to visit his grave, to bring some flowers and pay my respects.


I do not work at the same school any more, and I am not in direct contact with his family.


I know that his funeral was 2 weeks ago and I know from other children in the class that it is somewhere near Hampton Court, so I did a search on Google and found a phone number fo Kingston Cemeraties. I rang them and they told me it was in Surbiton cemetery. So yesterday I went there with flowers, and it turned out not to be the right place.


There isn't a phone number for Hampton cemetaries, and I can't think what else to do.


It's really important to me to visit the grave - like I said, he was a really special child.

1. All local authorities hold details of persons buried in their cemeteries on a database, and they can give you the plot address and cemetery name, if you e-mail them with sufficient details (e.g. name, residence at time of death, approximate date of death/burial).





2. If the cemetery really is in the Hampton area, then the local authority there is Elmbridge Borough Council. Have a look at its cemeteries webpage (http://www.elmbridge.gov.uk/leisure/chur... and you will see that there are several cemeteries, though none in Hampton. However, if you follow the "click here" link (in the Cemeteries opening hours section, near the top of the page) you will see a link for Antoinette Wentworth, Cemeteries Services Manager. It is actually an online enquiry, but worth asking if they have details of this boy.





3. Your efforts to locate the child's grave took you to the other side of the River Thames, in other words the Royal Borough of Kingston-upon-Thames, which just has those two cemeteries (Kingston and Surbiton). It might be worth contacting the Bereavement Services Manager, Howard Greenoff, just in case (http://www.kingston.gov.uk/community,_pe...





4. I would also try to get some verification of the location (e.g. the parents of the children that spoke to you), because already we have three local authority areas in all this - Hounslow, Kingston and Elmbridge. In the UK you there is no limitation about which cemetery can be used, so potentially there are thousands of possibilities. Also you are asking for help online, but without stating a name .... so your chances of getting through to the right person have been greatly reduced.





Anyway, I hope I have given you some ideas, and good luck.
Reply:You said: "It's really important to me to visit the grave". So for that reason, and using my existing local government knowledge, I spent time on the internet getting the contacts, just so you could find the grave. And then you buy a balloon instead. Sheesh! What a timewaster you turned out to be!! Report It

Reply:Would this information not be stated with the birth/deaths and marriages registry? I'm sure you could find out from there!
