This is sad news but at least it isn't disappearing altogether. The website is full of interesting gems.

The Lighter Side / Re: The worst Ancestry transcription ever?
« on: Wednesday 21 February 24 14:46 GMT (UK) »
I've been looking at some occupational surnames. I have never met anyone with the surname Cordwainer but Ancestry CMB has many pages of them. All the ones I've checked have Cordwainer as their or their father's occupation.
So, if you can't find someone try putting their full name in the first names box and you may strike lucky.
It is poor though

You obviously know a lot about it. It is a beautiful cemetery.
Would the Catholic Record Society have any burial records for Shorncliffe? They have some baptisms.

There are just over 700 graves listed on findagrave
https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2147441/memorial-search?cemeteryName=Shorncliffe%20Military%20Cemetery&page=1#sr-152514489
There must be a plan of the cemetery somewhere (I've not found one yet).
You could try contacting

It's worth searching Ancestry for people with the surnames Ditto and Smallpox
