Thanks for your replies - no not Scotland, Gloucestershire.
Note to self - Always check burials in parish records, do not assume they are buried in a grave even if their name is on it.
That's a useful lesson to learn

Just to confuse the issue even more (sorry !)
My Nana died last year ........... she is listed in the Manchester Online search engine (already!)
She is actually in there TWICE - and both are legitimate reasons for being entered in the Database.
The first entry is for the date of her Funeral and Cremation.............
Exactly a week later we had a second family ceremony and her ashes were scattered on my grandads grave (as nana wanted)
Because to do this they actualy lift up some of the grass and scatter the ashes into the grave its classed the same way as a burial.........
So she has an entry for both a cremation - and a burial - same place ......... a week apart .
Technically she had both............and she is already in the book of rememberance - aND on grandads headstone!
LOL Nana always did like to be different!
I am going to have to make sure its written up in the tree tho cos otherwise I can see family members being totaly confused in years to come!
