semmens burial

I thought they would be buried together as husband and wife

So presumably you have the couple in all the census until 1881 and then only Mary in 1891?

Are the ages in the census consistent with the ages for these burials?

When William died, maybe they couldn't afford a "dual" burial plot?
And Mary could have been a staunch Methodist?

With 11 years between the deaths, there may be all sorts of reasons why they would be buried separately.

Thank you for the information, yes like you said With 11 years between the deaths, there may be all sorts of reasons why they would be buried separately.William's first wife died in 1841 and is buried in st buryan.

Hi
    I now have William's death certificate and it says he was a farm labourer when he died in churchtown. on the 1881 census they have him as a tin miner and living in the square st just. where about is the square is it in churchtown

If you look at the original census page (not the transcription!), on the page before is the Wellington Hotel.

This still exists in Market Square, St Just in Penwith.

So, they were living in the town of St Just.

And here it is as it looks relatively recently!
