We've decided to see if we can find Ernest Haylett's grave. According to my memory, it was in Wanstead cemetery but this either never, or no longer exists. However, the City of London cemetery - link here - has a way of finding old graves through an online search - and this turned up Ernest's grave.
Ernest was buried on October 4th 1930 having died aged 58 on board the MV Highland Princess.
The City of London cemetery is huge - about a square kilometre - but it's divided into squares, and Ernest's grave is in square 253....
....not too far from the main gate and between 'Central Avenue' and 'The Little Road'.
We hope to find it this weekend.
