The Graveyard

The Graveyard


I've spent years looking for graves all over the country (and outside the country too). Among all of them I have some related, to a greater or lesser extent, with our topic of interest.

In the future, I hope not too far, I will publish a book with a small number selected from this list and completed with many others not related to crimes, but no less interesting, that I have in my files.

This first post will be updated as we incorporate new finds. The fact of appearing in this list means that we have discussed on that grave, not necessarily that it has been discovered where it is.

Any contribution will be very welcome, information, photos, records, clues...

Alice Cadosch's was the last one I found. I was actually after Albert Cadosh, but I lost track of him in Colchester. I heard he could have gone to Newcastle but that was starting to be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Fascinating stuff, Jose.

Thank you very much Gary,

I was also very glad to find PC Edward Watkins, 881City, in Romford Cemetery.

Wow! Did you see William Crossingham’s grave while you were there?

Glad you like it Gary. Yes sure, have some pics

[Gary Barnett]

The Crossingham’s last address was just across the road from where I live.

Jose once shared some photos of the former location and surrounding area of the East River Hotel.....which I greatly appreciate....here's two of them.
That would be Inspector Byrnes



Jose took this one from the roof of the building which now occupies the former plot the hotel stood on

Joseph Hyam Levy, Plashet Cemetery, found on February 10, 2022

On February 21st, thanks to Mrs. Lisa Jenner, Chapel Attendant East London Cemetery & Crematorium, I learned the approximate place where Frances Coles, Alice McKenzie and the Pinchin St Torso were buried. Unfortunately we cannot be more precise with the location since that the tombstones of the three squares were cleared long ago. The land was raised and reused for new burials, but the new headstones, from the early 20th century, were renumbered differently. As there are not at least two of the old ones still standing, it is not possible to be more precise. Well, they are no less precise than those of The City of London Cemetery.

Frances Coles 21/19270
Alice McKenzie 37/21193
Unknown Woman 45/16185

Its a pity the remains cannot now be located. It would be interesting if DNA could be extracted from the Pinchin Street torso and relatives identified.

[Gary Barnett]

Thanks for those, Jose, particularly the McKenzie one. Looks like she’s in the shade of a tree.

Not really Gary, we have placed it there because belonging to the same square as Elizabeth Stride, they have very separate numbers, as the square is not very large I wanted to place the improvised memorial as far away as possible from Stride, but honestly, I do not think that McKenzie was buried at edge of the path, that place must have been reserved for private graves. Surely she was buried a little further away
