Milly, I know who the fella is, who buried him etc, and what his last address was...or were you referring to the fella he was buried with?

I am delighted to have found out that he was at least buried with his wife.  It's kind of nice to know they are together :)

My husbands gr grandfather is buried in the same grave as his first wife, and his second wife.  Also a baby from his first marriage.

His first wife died just after their  baby was born, and the baby died three weeks later.  Her sister came over from Ireland to help him look after the first three daughters.  She ended up marrying him and they went on to have 2 more sons and another daughter.  He died not long after in WW1, leaving his second wife to bring up the whole clan.

Part of me thinks isn't it nice that he has both wives in there with him, and the other part of me thinks 'Poor thing!!'  They must be ganging up on him in there and nagging him something rotten ;D

Hi

Someone (Dimps...thanQ) has recently found a grave of one of my ancestors, and happily he is buried there with his wife.  He died in 1878, she died in 1893.  But also buried in the same grave was a person of a totally different name, in 1864.

I have found at least two relative burried in graves where there is no obvious link. The first was a 7 year old child burried in what could be her maternal grandmother's grave in 1854. The second an elderly single women in the mid 20th century was burried with a man who turned out to be an uncle by marriage.
The family were quite poor and I guess that it made sense to pool resources or use up a spare space! It seems very odd to us but people lived (and died) in such close proximity compared to current times.
