Surname on a gravestone
« on: Wednesday 03 April 13 12:28 BST (UK) »
Hi all

Spent this morning in a churchyard looking for relatives. Adjacent to the gravestone of my 2xGreat Grandparents is a small grave which I can read some of, but not all. Around the area of the graves are the graves of other family members, children, grandchildren etc, so I wondered if this grave belonged to a relative. Can anyone help, please?

"IN LOVING MEMORY OF JANE..."

I must admit I have an inkling who it might be, but shall wait for responses before I say. :)
