Last weekend I went on a tour of visiting several Titanic grave sites in London. You can find their pictures by clicking on the following links (I hope they work - never tried doing it before now) If any one would like a larger photo of them, you can E-mail me privately and I will gladly post them on.
First stop was Hendon Cemetery: Stuart Collett There is no headstone, so I took a photo of the plot where he was buried.
Next stop was Golders Green: Mr Adolphe Saalfeld, but unfortunately the Jewish cemetery is closed on Saturdays - Then across the road to the crematorium to: The Cavendish's again unfortunately as it was Saturday there was no one to open the door to let us into the room where their monument was. But there is a very good tea-room there.
Next onto Chadwell Heath in Romford to: Eva Hart. After finishing our lunch and a glass of lemonade in the Eva Hart pub, we went to the recreation ground to see her commemerative tree and plaque, then over to St Chad's Church to visit the Garden of remembrance there.
The next stop was Greenwich Museum and to find over-night accommodation - I wasn't impressed with the museum there was only a small display for the Titanic and very little in their shop either to do with the Titanic.
Next morning we set out to Putney Vale Cemetery and the Bruce Ismay family plot
Onwards we went - up the road to Mortlake Crematorium to visit the plots of Charles and Sylvia Lightoller. (A lovely lady called Elaine in the office spent over a hour looking through the records for me as I had forgotten my notes). We were both surprised that Charles and Sylvia were not scattered in the same plot.
Next stop was meant to be Ewell: Mrs Mary Roberts, but time was clocking on (Pardon the pun) and we were forced to cut over to woking instead, visiting: Miss Clear Cameron. We couldn't find any plaque, but then time was running out so we took a photo of 'Keats Garden' where she was scattered
Last but not least onto Brookwood Cemetery and the: Duff Gordons.(If you get chance to visit make sure you take note of the map it's like a rabbit warren in there and we spent a long time trying to find our way out).
Our previous searches include:
The Countess of Rothes - Mr Harold Lowe - Mrs Ada Clarke - Mr Walter Perkis
Hope I haven't waffled on, or bored you too much
