Now here's what I think it all is! but again it's only my idea!. "Mary Burdett" could have been the Sister of Benjamin Deane Jackson. JACKSON FAMILY GRAVE EE Grave 1165 Church of England Benjamin Deane Jackson was buried on the 2/2/1873 then on the 7th of March 1876, Esther Jackson aged 9 years, the daughter of Benjamin Jackson was also buried in the family gave, then on the 2/th of September 1882 Louise JACKSON aged 22 years was also buried in the family grave, then on the 10th of December 1895 John the son of Benjamin Jackson was also buried in the family grave, and then last on the 8th of June 1896, Mary Burdett, wife of William Burdett was buried by Joseph Jackson from Johnston Street Fitzroy, occupation was a cigar maker. The details non Mary Burdett aged 66 years buried on the 6th of June 1896 are with Benjamin Deane Jackson is that she lived at Johnston Street, Fitzroy, was the Wife of William W. BURDETT died from CHRONIC BRONCHITIS. William died at Alfred Hospital, his occupation was a labourer, he was born in Northampton. Looks that Mary was the owner of the grave from the time she buried he husband Benjamin Deane Jackson, but why the name change has got me puzzled, seem the only way to find out would be to do another search state by state for a marriage of Burdett to a Jackson? Which would have to be sometime after 1873 and before 8/6/1896. Or find out who this Joseph Jackson was? I'll do a search and see if I can find any births in the Jackson name for you?
