Hi June, The person to ask the question to is Tony Morton who has photographed all the plots in City Rd and a few other Cemeteries. I believe you will find that it is a common grave which covered quite a large area. I am more or less sure there will be no marker and what we have on the site is all the information there is. We have a Message Forum on the site where you can post your message, Tony will see it and let you know what is there.
