John Lawrence Toole was a successful actor. In 1880, twenty six years before his death, he acquired a burial plot in All Souls' Cemetery, Kensal Green. His son Frank had died in 1879 and it is likely that Toole acquired burial plots alongside for his family in the following year. The 'piece of ground' measured eleven feet long and six feet, six inches wide and cost 'thirty pounds and fifteeen shillings'.
