Tracing family
Histon Road Cemetery was created as a ‘Open’ Cemetery to cater primarily for the Nonconformist community in Cambridge but at the same time open to all. This means that those buried here came from all parts of the town.
Researching our records
Two valuable sources are held at the Cambridgeshire Archives:
- Record of memorial inscriptions and locations with alphabetical index. Many of the inscriptions include family members who are buried elsewhere but ‘remembered’ here.
- Burial Registers: All 8000+ interments are listed in date order with location and other details.
Can we help you?
The Friends group are happy to assist family researchers. We have a complete database of burials which we can search by family name. We also have an updated and amended version of the record of Memorial Inscriptions. If you contact us with as much information as you can then we will do our best to help.
