Frances - we already have the burial details ;D
Just need to find the plot number?

Manx Museum Library was closed today - staffing problems, connected to the weather, and the lack of buses this morning?

I'll have another look when they are next open - which is Wednesday.

Now we know the exact date and place, I’m sure it will be possible to find that out, as the cemetery should have a record of the burial.

Apologies for the delay in replying!
I finally got to the Manx Museum Library.

Douglas Borough Council, burials, has:
Fanny Graham, date as before, age 52, grave Reference K34

The book of Monumental Inscriptions says for reference K34:
No stone ;D

So, while we have a pointer as to where her grave is, there is no gravestone to photograph?

Hi KGarrad, Just a thought, would there by chance be a cemetery map to capture ?
thanks again

There is a map showing all the areas. It is at the cemetery.
But to find an individual grave, you must walk down the rows - all stones are marked with the number.

As I remember, there were 3 graves together, without stones.
So you would need to look for K30 or K36 and work from there.
