Just had a look at the records on Ancestry.
In the original burial book, heīs recorded as Cyril Percival.
Maybe thatīs causing some confusion for the people checking the records.
Graves disappear very quickly. My grandfather was buried in 1954 & my grandmother went into the same grave 20 years later. I went to look for it some 20 years later & could find no trace, even though I knew exactly where it should be, & there had originally been a kerbstone round it.
This was in a small churchyard on the outskirts of Birmingham. The inner city ones were very large.
