Nola If you contact the cemetery they may be able to tell you if it is a Private, common or Paupers graves. I believe the common graves could not have markers on them and were possibly the cheaper alternative, where a paupers grave was paid for by the government. David where are you, you would know this inside out! Carmel Hi All Thanks Carmel for your comments re common graves but maybe someone can clarify something for me. I have always been led to believe that "common graves" were essentially "pauper" graves paid for by either the government or charitable organisations. The multiple burials that I referred to in my previous note were actually privately arranged by funeral directors and the deceased families in order to reduce but not eliminate costs and therefore I believed them to be in a different catergory to "common graves". I hope someone can clarify this for me. Kind regards, Nola Violet Town Make the switch to the world's best email.
