Well, I dare say Jill not all are recorded, some inscriptions would have been illegible and of course there will be many who couldnt afford the headstone.
Don't forget (if you ever knew) that Forest hill cemetary is very close to Brockley, so if they are not there you may find them in Forest Hill, sadly there is no online index though.
If you google map it.
Forest hill cemetary is on Forest hill road where it meets wood vale
Cross over forest hill road into Brenchly Gardens, follow that road and you get to Brockley cemetary.
Do you want to give me the names? I am often at Forest Hill cemetary as there are a few family graves which I tend to, Next time i'm there i'll have a look round for you, there are quite a few biggies there
Ok, next time i'm there I will have a good look for them, some of the site is overgrown but 85% is still accessable, and I can discount 4 graves as 3 are mine and one next to one of them is for a lady called Henderson....;)

2 very biggies very close together
I think you will find that is called Honor Oak Cemetary and is next to Camberwell New Cemetary. Nunhead Cemetary is not far from there, either.
This is wonderful. I have been looking for an uncle's death for over a year, now at least I know he was buried, with his parents, even though I do not, yet, know when!
Does anyone ever go to Ladywell & Brockley Cemetary? It is a little difficult for me as I live in Queensland, Australia!! Though I do plan a visit before too long, it is becoming a necessity.

Just googled and we are both wrong :o - its Camberwell old cemetery on Forest hill Road
Everyone calls it Honor Oak, because of its location
Honor oak Crematorium is in Brenchley Gardens, which is next door to Camberwell New cemetary (I thought that was Brockley - woops)
Brockley & Ladywell cemetery is on Brockley Road
and for anyone who is interested - Nunhead cemetary is off Linden Grove

Hi Marion
I haven't been there before, but if you can give me the details (did you find them on the site?) I will try and have a look when it warms up, it is a really big cemetery, so the more you can narrow it down the better
I have found some of OH's family - Newtons and Holditches very conveniently in the same grave! It also provided me with a wife, and with the christian name "Fanny Byles" I very quickly found the marriage.
