Church History This Cemetery or Burial Ground was founded in 1898, and we understand it is still open. Ridgeway Park Jewish Cemetery was established in the 1890s, with the first burial taking place in 1898. In 1924 27 tombstones from an earlier cemetery, Great Gardens, Rose Street, were removed here. For details of burials, "together with images of all legible and partially legible tombstones as well as most of the 20th century Burial Certificates", please see the JewishGen website. The Cemetery is also recorded on the Cemetery Scribes website, where the cemetery in Great Gardens is referred to as "Brook Court", and described as being in the private garden of Lazarus Jacobs, as indeed is described in the entry for Great Garden Burial Ground elsewhere in this database. Denomination Now or formerly a Cemetery (Jewish). In most cases this will be a record of its original consecration. Maps This Cemetery is located at OS grid reference ST6197075253.

Search Tips:

You can specify either a Place, or OS Grid Reference to search for. When you specify a Place, only entries for that place will be returned, with Places of Worship listed in alphabetical order. If you specify a Grid Reference, Places of Worship in the immediate vicinity will be listed, in order of distance from the Grid Reference supplied. The default is to list 10, but you can specify How Many you want to see, up to a maximum of 100.

You can further refine your search by supplying other search terms.

• You can specify entries with ('Yes') or without ('No') photographs.
• You can specify a church or chapel's Dedication, to restrict entries to those containing the term you supply as a dedication. So for instance, 'John' would return 'St John', 'St Mary and St John', 'St John the Divine' &c.
• You can specify a Street address, and likewise 'George' will return George Place, St George's Street, George and Dragon, &c.
• You can restrict the search to classes of Denomination. The exact denomination is always shown in the results, although the search is for broad types. Thus you can search for 'Methodist', but not 'Wesleyan Methodist' or 'Primitive Methodist'. 'Multi-denominational' includes Ecumenical Partnerships, and 'Miscellaneous' means anything not covered by other broad classes.
