Hello Deb
These records we have access to on Ancestry are not 'all' actual burial records, some are administration logs (for want of a better description)
An actual Burial record will show the name of the deceased, age and address at death, date of burial and section and plot number.
Taking your 3 entries, none of them show the right details to be a Burial record, but are Admin logs for the grave and deed holder:
01 Jan 1929
https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageviewer/collections/2183/images/engl56170_282-for-4-1_m_00283?If you look at the image, its an admin log. It says that Mary Hannaway, of Towcester St, paid £4 13s 6d to purchase the right of burial in Grave SD 886. Its not a burial record, its just showing that she is the Deed holder. Often by the time the deed holder died the grave may have been full, so IF she is buried at Ford it could be in a different grave and probably was as Marienne has given you the names of all the people in that grave and she's not on there.
Marienne has access to the graves registers, which show (after a lot of rooting around, they are usually very complicated) who was buried in each grave and when.
From Marienne's reply, I see that a Joseph Hannaway, of 13 Towcester Street was buried on 3/1/1929.
So it would make sense that when Joseph died Mary arranged the funeral - including purchasing the rights of burial in SD 886 on 1st January.
and this is his entry in the Burials Register when he was buried two days later:
