I was trying to pin a date on the Madden "W. Oxlade, 174 Portsea" entry - unsuccessfully. Closest was "Madden 22 (1800-1850)"!!

Good hunting

A William A Grimmett died Merthyr Tydfil, age 13, Jun Qtr, 1916

Welshnewspapersonline - http://welshnewspapers.llgc.org.uk/en/home

Search for "grimmett" and limit the search to the "Monmouthshire Guardian.

Re the article dated 7 April 1916 would this be William, younger brother of the Louisa Grimmett on the 1911 Census?

Between 1768 and 1770, a number of newspaper adverts appeared which included -
"printed for W. Oxlade, No 5 behind the Chapter House, St Paul's Church ....."

Note - 1 refers to a "William Oxlade"

The Monumental Inscriptions may well not be a complete/true record of those buried. Not every burial results in a monument/gravestone. Other reasons might be the headstone or grave markings are illegible (the older the more likely) or has been damaged/vandalised.

The complete record should be held by the Church/Cemetery who should be able to provide a Plot Number/location. Having the date of death reduces the searching required against these records.
