I found a pair of my relatives (a married couple) in the same grave with another unknown married couple (different surname) and two of their children, plus a child with yet another surname. I'm wondering if it makes sense to research these other people to see if they were related to my couple. The deaths occurred from 1871 to 1892, but three were buried in 1871. Hi I have the same problem and wondered if I should do the same. They are not directly linked to the family but I wondered whether they could be friends. After all the couple in the grave had no apparent family so perhaps they or the family let other people use the grave. regards JUDY ELKINGTON [W.R.Yorkshire, England] www.elkingtonfamily.com [email protected] www.one-name.org/profiles/elkington.html
