.:: City Road Cemetery Index ::.
The City Road Cemetery which was opened in May 1881 covers 100 acres and contains over 160,000 burials. The current index is a work in progress and a list showing the number of burials which have been entered can be seen by selecting "What's Online" from the website submenu.

For interest, some basic stats have been provided showing a histogram of the age at death and also a table showing the most numerous surnames.

The information contained in the index is currently as follows:

date of burial, forename, surname, description, age, place of death, (parents), grave number and denomination.

Most of the stillborns have the details of one or both of the parents recorded and where available this has been recorded in a separate "parents" field.

The burials index can be searched by forename, surname, address and year of burial and where the grave number appears in blue on the search results screen then this can be clicked to bring up a list showing who else was buried in the same grave. It should be noted, however, that many graves were public rather than private graves and as such contained a potentially large number of people, none of whom are necessarily related.
