I pondered the significance of the top no. and initially thought it might be the sequence of burials - but I've ruled that out. With the numbering reverting to 1 each year there is duplication of numbers and I wondered if the top no. was intended to distinguish the bottom number from others of the same value.

Tracking grave 1/28. Some hits are recorded in 3 separate registers.
Buried April 8 1801, Ann daughter of Thomas & Ann Ayres, spinster aged 22 who died April 5 of Fever at Bank Top, Man'r. Grave purchased by Thomas Ayres. (The No. 1/28 has been added in column 1 in a different hand)
1. Buried Jan'y 5 1812, Jane late wife of Samuel Hayres (sic), aged 50 years, who died Jan 1 of Decline at 103 (sic) Bank Top Man'r
2. Buried Jan 5, Jane late wife of Samuel Ayres, aged 50 years, who died Jan'y 1 of decline at No 133 Bank Top, Man'r. In Thomas Ayres grave
3. Buried Jan 5, Jane late wife of Samuel Ayres, aged 50, died Jan 1 1812, Grave 1/28, Disorder - Decline, 133 Bank Top, Man'r.
Buried 1815 Aug 15, Thomas Ayres, weaver, widower, aged 87 years who died Aug 12 of natural Decay at No 82 Loom Street near New Cross, Man'r. In 1/28
Buried 1823 Jan'y 26, Samuel Ayres, weaver, widower of 58 years, who died Jan'y 21 of Decline at No 7 Upton Street, Back Top, Man'r In 1/28
I can see Number 1 appearing 13 July 1801 (it's 1/1 encircled).The numbers increment and, I think, revert to 1 on the 1st January of each new year. I did wonder if the number above the line was a way of identifying the year for the number below the line. The only thing I can say with certainty is that if the No. appears within a circle it indicates "Grave purchased by ..."

If the number indicated a grave why so few? Shouldn't everyone buried there have a number?
I notice on the records from 1811/12 those marked with a number in the 1st column include the comment "Grave purchased by ...". Those with a number in the end column (seem to say "in -/-) don't include a reference to purchasing.
Haven't time to check a bigger sample at the moment.

If you search for George Foden, buried 1811, Salford (FindMyPast burials) it should deliver a page showing a Column headed "Grave" - with numbers.
