Edmonton Burial 1937

[delphine]

Seeking information on where my grandfather may be buried.

David William FINDLAY died 8 June 1937 at home at 54 St Joseph's Rd, Edmonton. The only church connection I know is with All Saints, where his daughter, my mother, married in 1932. However, their later burial registers are not on line as far as I can see and their website is discouraging to family historians. I can't see the registers in the LMA catalogue (that may be my ineptitude).
He's not on Deceased Online.

Ideas welcomed!

I would try the council. Contact details here

As you have a date of death I'd ask one of the Enfield libraries if they could possibly look for an obituary and/or a report of the funeral for you in the Enfield Gazette.

Enfield Town might be your best bet, and I think you need to phone them as the email link seems to be direct to the council.

Depending on the day of the week of death and publishing of the newspaper, an obituary was usually printed within seven/ten days of death, with possibly a separate report of the funeral about a week/fortnight later.

Are you sure that the three Edmonton cemeteries records are online at Deceased online?
I can't see anything listed under either Edmonton/Enfield or London Borough of Enfield.

Is this your man from 1891 Census

NAME: David William Findlay
BIRTH: abt 1873 - Ireland

and 1911 census
NAME: David William Findlay
BIRTH: abt 1871 - city, Ireland

Could the family have sent his body back to Ireland for Burial

I wonder if this works... https://search.lma.gov.uk/LMA_DOC/DRO_040.PDF

Otherwise search for DRO/040

I still think Enfield Council should be your first port of call.

Impressive, Peter.
Dates for the baptism, marriage, and burials registers tie in with those given on the church's website.
(Bit surprised that the church are still holding baptism registers from 1859.)

Thanks to everyone for helpful suggestions, and for undertaking work on my behalf (and so speedily). I am aware of the Irish connection - he was the son of a serving (Scottish) soldier in Dublin - his brothers' and sisters' birthplaces are a roll call of garrison towns, and he followed his father into the RHA.
At his death the family was quite poor (he had had to give up driving a tram and was acting as steward at the Club at the Depot) - I doubt there was an obituary or even a notice in the paper but I can try that line and will also try Enfield Council.
Thanks again to all
