OK: multiple part answer for a multiple part question:\n1) where were they buried: this information is virtually impossible to come by in the UK apt from specialist Genealogical services (there is no central registry of burials)\n\n2)Death records are available from the Pyblic Records Office (google it) - but i think you have to wait 100 years before the information is released.\n\n3) Pauper's burials haven't existed in the UK since 1947 (the founding of the 'Welfare State')\n\n4) If you die in london and nobody claims your remains, you will probably be buried/cremated in London according to your will.
