Helen Twickenham now comes under the London Borough of Richmond. If you go to their website (type Richmond into a search engine to find it) and click on A-Z Services and then C, you will find a link to cemeteries. There is an online search you can do, but I don't think it covers all the burial places, just Richmond & East Sheen. I think you can probably find a list of churches in Twickenham on Genuki. Of course it depends what you mean by "very old". My gt grandfather was buried in 1932 but his grave is hidden in overgrown ivy and woodland, with stones upended and a burnt sofa in the middle - this is Richmond Cemetery. nell
