Hi

My 2x Great Grandfather appears to be buried with 2 strangers in City Road Cemetery. I suspect he was a pauper, so understand that this happened, but the married couple he is buried with have a nice memorial stone (no mention of him). The male stranger died first, then my relative, then the woman. Who would have made the decision to put him in their grave when the wife was still alive? Was this usual?

Thanks
Helen

Can you tell us the identity of the grave occupants please?

So he's buried with his sister and brother-in-law!

Thank you so much for solving this for me! Excellent work.
