Cheriton Cemetery

This information is from the Cheriton Road Cemetery entry from Wikitree. 'The cemetery opened for burials in February 1857, although there was one burial in 1856 (James Pain Clark). The cemetery was extended to the east in 1891, increasing the number of grave spaces by roughly half from 9,867 to 14,934. The number of burials taking place dropped dramatically in 1935, burials from then were mostly in existing family graves and later only interments of ashes in existing family graves.'
