I have 4 people buried in the same family grave in a cemetery in a town in the North East of England where each burial service was carried out in the Parish church round the corner from where the family lived. The burial service in each case is noted in the Parish Register of burials and not in any other kind of register. The first of these 4 burials took place in 1862 the last in 1899. The entry for each burial service has a note that the burial took place in the nearby cemetery which had been opened in 1856. The churchyard was only taking burials where there was an existing grave for earlier family members. Regards Jenny DeAngelis Spain.
