Findmypast Friday: More U.K. Burial Records and Newspapers

 I received this information from Findmypast today:

==========================================

Find final resting places this Findmypast Friday with nearly 60,000 new records 

Greater London Burial Index 

A further 52,883 records have been added to this existing collection, covering the years 1540-1949 and 22 parishes. Typically, you can glean details such as place and date of death and burial, birthplace, and full name. You may also find occupations, other family members’ names, and some transcripts have an accompanying image. 

Kent, Folkestone District Monumental Inscriptions 

6,000 records across six churches have been added, mostly with standard detail such as full name death date, denomination and inscription. The new records include transcripts from a wonderfully detailed, hand-drawn map of Hawkinge Cemetery, which has been scanned in full for you to explore.
