Can you tell me if a Eva Sandberg/Somberg is buried in Streatham. Her husband Reuben is buried there but I cant trace where she is buried. She died in 1907 and Reuben Somberg died in 1925
Thanks for your comment, unfortunately we do not have this information. You would need to contact the relevant Burial Society and/or the Beth Din.

I will be visiting Rowan Road Cemetery in June to bring my 87 year old mother to visit her mother’s grave. I visited Pauline’s (d.1933) grave in 2012 and found a lot of the lettering had fallen off. I gathered it into a heap and hope it will still be there. I would like to repair the lettering if possible. Could you tell me if the lettering would have been lead, I seem to remember it was quite heavy and what I should use in the repair.
Thankyou.
If someone was a patient in Chelsea Hospital in the early 1900’s do you know why they were sent there. Was it an isolation hospital for TB?
From the records at Streatham cemetery do you have an entry for a Nachama Freeman who died in November 1949..This is my maternal grandmother ..I know from a visit some years back and the stone has collapsed..I want if possible to erect a plaque
Thank you.. Malcolm Shapiro

Sorry we can’t, but you should contact the Cemetery direct and they will let you know the approved stonemasons that will clean there or the Burial Society.
