Shirley,

Does this explain why there are gaps between some graves in parkside
cemetry, ie the people are buried there but they couldnt afford tombstones ?
Ive often wondered why I cant find more of my ancestors !

Paul

PS. Weve just come back from a few days in cumbria and it never rained once
!!!
