Dian Elvin of Bungendore, NSW, Australia says:  I have been researching Henry Condell, the first Mayor of Melbourne, for quite some time now but have never been able to find out where he is buried.  In the 1871 census, he was living in Gloucester Road West, New Barnet,  in a house called Clifton Villa, next to Gloucester House (It might have been renamed Caer Eden according to a map sent to me by Brian Warren the genealogist.)

Henry Condell died when he was staying at Oak House, South Mimms. He might be buried nearby.  He owned Melbourne Lodge near Perivale and has a memorial window to him in the Church.  His son, William Vallange Condell and two grandchildren are buried in Perivale but not Henry.  Other relatives were buried in Greenford Churchyard, but not Henry.  There was a Prebyterian Church near Gloucester Road, Barnet.  I wondered if he might have been buried there because, although his family were Roman Catholic, he was a Protestant unless he reverted later in life.   A local newspaper might have his death notice.  He died on 6th September 1871, Oak House, Gannic Corner, South Mimms and Mary Jane Mabin/or Mabon was present.  In the census there were two servants with him, Mary Mabon and Elizabeth Lakeman, so Mary was with him when visiting Oak House
If anyone knows where he might be buried, I'd be interested to know. Many thanks for your website.

The places you mention are now in what was Middlesex, although some were just inside Hertfordshire in the 19th century, and I am afraid I don't have much detailed local knowledge. However by 1871 many churchyards, especially in urban areas, were full to overflowing and public cemeteries were opened - so a service would be held in a church or chapel, and the body then taken to the public graveyard. In addition there were high class cemeteries, such as the one at Highgate, where the "great and the good" vied to build the most impressive memorials well away from the graves of the masses. Your Henry may well have been buried somewhere like that. There is a book on the Greater London Cemeteries - but I don't have the reference. The Society of Genealogists may have a copy for sale in their online bookshop, as I have seen it in their bookshop.

Two possible sources which you have not mentioned are:

• His will: It seems almost certain that he would have left a will, which might have been quite complex if he still owned property in Australia (there might then be a copy in the Australian Will archives to deal with the Australian probate requirements).. With any luck he may have specified where he would like to be buried.
• The Times: Henry would appear to have had sufficient status that there may have been an obituary in the Times - and there may even have been a death notice. (I am not sure if death notices in the paper in those days would have included the date and place of the funeral.) The Times is widely available on microfilm and there could well be a copy in the State Library in Canberra, which would be convenient for you.

As to local newspapers, have a look at the British Library catalogue. I am not sure when the Melbourne Age started publishing - but if it was already in print I assume that you have checked this - as it could have contained a joint account of the death and the funeral.
