FAMILY HISTORY

Help with Your Searches

We have an indexing project web site (click here), which will enable you to find if a person is buried here and what details are held, but this will not give you the information you need to find the location of the grave on the ground. The Trust has maps of where the plots are that were held by families from the former Abney Park Cemetery Company before it closed in 1978. We will carry out a search of the company indexes and send the appropriate map on to you. There is an £8 charge.

A cheque should be sent to the 'Abney Park Cemetery Trust', South Lodge, Abney Park, Stoke Newington High Street, London N16 0LN.

If you wish to send us an e-mail request, please e-mail this link: Lisa , and the Trust will reply as soon as it is able.
