I live near Northampton where Bradlaugh was MP for 11 years and never knew of this aspect of his funeral. I am not clear from your account whether he was transported by train, do you know?

I had a chuckle about the Brookwood Cemetery Railway because I recently watched a YouTube video about Rookwood Necropolis in Sydney, Australia. Obviously someone in Australia heard about Brookwood and the Railway and thought it would be a good idea for Sydney. I will attach the link in case you are interested.

I’m an amateur genealogist and often find myself researching cemeteries in the UK and Australia to add records to the family trees I’m working on. Hence how I discovered Rookwood. I live in Victoria, a long way from Sydney, NSW. I have ancestors buried there from during the years of The Great War.

Thanks again,

Cheers from downunder 🇦🇺
