I am pretty sure that it was the Whitworth family burials that are listed in the Brading church's burial records. I had looked at the burial records for some of my family and came across theirs. I remember it because of the children and if I remember correctly it even listed in the records that they were killed by their father. I did not keep a copy since they were not related. It was shocking enough to remember it.
