However, in the same grave in 1945, Lilian Frances Dauvin was buried, she was of 65 Simpson Road and aged 37. Dauvin is not a name I have come across before, and initial searches seem to indicate a link with the Channel Islands. Usually, when someone was buried in the same grave it meant that there was a connection between those people, but this one has got me totally confused. I thought maybe Lilian was the daughter of Rhoda Scott, but I've not been able to find the her birth index as yet. Going by the age at death, Lilian would appear to have been born 1908, the same year Rhoda died. Are there any listers out there who are connected to the Dauvin family that have info on who Lilian Frances is please? > > Very many thanks in advance, Jon > Jon, it may be worth checking with the cemetery people whether the grave was in fact re-used. It is possible that there is no connection with the Dauvin family. I have several instances of this in the Portsmouth cemeteries. Cheers, Ian
