I lived with my family at 26 Barrenger Road on Coldfall Estate . Our playground was the dump, coldfall woods and the Islington and St. Pancras cemetery. This in the late 1940 .The whole area was overgrown, a wonderful place for young boys to roam. I remember a bridge close to the Mond edifice that was damaged by bombing. Does my memory serve me correctly !!!! Thanks for your research on the cemetery,

I am looking for my grandfather who died April 29, 1909. At the time of death he lived at 11 Goadings Road. His wife (widow) was Elizabeth A. Cook who was left with several children at the time. James Cook, my grandfather is believed to b buried in St. Pancras grave yard and have only information left to me by my mother who at the time was only seven years old and the eldest of four or five children. I am also searching for my grandmother, Elizabeth who disappeared six months later leaving her children, dying. She may be in the grave yard too. Her full name was Elizabeth Ann Tillett , Cook If you could help me I would be so grateful. I am now an old senior and would like to close this chapter of our life before I pass on.

In reply to Cherille Vercoutre. Hi Cherille, thanks very much for your comment and I am very glad to hear you enjoyed the post! It certainly is huge isn't it and yes definitely difficult to find specific graves. I actually quite enjoyed that about it in a way though, the interesting people that I came across, I sort of found by random which was quite nice! Jack

Very interesting piece thank you I have visited this cemetery in the past as my mother lived very close to it. It is a very large place and hard to find graves you are looking for but maybe over the years it has been maintained a little more.
