*Archive* Chislehust cemetery look up?

Post by Vikinghunter »

My grandfather is buried there. I visited his grave many, many years ago but can't remember exactly where the plot is located. I dearly would like to re-visit soon but need to know the plot location to enable this. I tried Bromley (Kent) County Council a while back but they charge £36.00 per search which I think is outrageous!

Just wondering if any kind soul here might already be a member of some society with grave search facilities who could look it up for me please (subject to me supplying him/her with the necessary details)?

I seem to recall from my previous visit a few years back being surprised to discover more than one family member being buried at the same plot. Alas I can't remember who they were......

I have looked online for any grave search sites but they all seem to be paying ones which would not make sense when just searching for one or two family members.

All the best

David

I should have thanked you for pointing me to Genealogy Forum which has been great.

Don't forget to send me the finders fee of £36 :P for finding out your grandfather's plot!

Isn't this outrageous too! :wink:

Many thanks for the PM with the helpful information!

I'm afraid I'll have to open up my piggy bank for said fee.

Will 720 x 5p coins do?

:lol:

Hello - I thought I'd just let you all know.

Together with the help of a kind colleague I, yesterday, visited my grandfather's grave in beautiful Chislehurst. The cemetery being 12.5 acres took quite a bit of trekking before I found the grave (grandparents together) in the pouring rain.

At least I think I lost a few calories......

Thanks to those others here who offered to help.
