If you tell us names and dates I am pretty sure that at least one of our members will be able to help you.

So the name of your ancestor, the area he lived in 1912 and anything else you can tell us.

New Brentford Cemetery was used from 1903 for this area...........you could try contacting them

I think by the time your ancestor committed suicide he would have been buried by the church especially if he was pronounced insane at time of suicide.

You're right. I have an ancestor who committed suicide in 1870 (the coroner's verdict was 'temporary insanity', a fairly common verdict by then to avoid the 'suicide' issue). His name is on the headstone of the family grave and his burial recorded in the parish register.

Hi thanks for that on his death certificate it says suicide by hanging whilst of unsound mind
