Burial Registers
Burial Registers document services held at St. Giles church, including services that are to be followed by burials of Ashes in the Garden of Remembrance.The Records of burials prior to 1885 are contained in Burial Registers that are archived in Bromley public library in the 'Local History' section. Also there are the first four volumes of Burial Registers for Farnborough Parish, covering the period from 1885 to 1990.
The volume numbers are P144/1/9,10,42,43,44,46
Registers for burials and cremations from 1990 onward are still held in the church.
Grave Registers
The parish has also maintained 'Grave Registers' since 1885, which unlike the Burial Registers, are sequenced by grave number, and are therefore still active documents. These will remain in the Church archives, and are contained in three volumes. These only include burials in the 'New' graveyard.You may be researching your family history or have other reasons for tracing a record of someone’s burial.
If you would like further
information and/or wish to inspect either the record in the Grave
Registers or the grave itself, you may make an appointment to visit
the Church - preferably on a Tuesday morning - by telephoning or
emailing the Parish Office
