Not sure who Jane Frazer is as it only shows her death year of 1837 and residence at Clarendon street.

The way I read it, Jane Frazer was the owner of the grave and purchased it in 1837, but the first burial there was Isabella Royle. I don't see a burial for Jane Frazer.

Compare Isaac Ainsworth's entry on the opposite page. His grave was purchased in 1837 but he wasn't buried until 1839.

I see, that is a good spot. It would also explain why 'Public Grave' is in the same spot for some entries.

Perhaps Jane Frazer is the same Jane who appears to be the Mother and when she died its possible that someone was unaware of this plot and hence she wasnt buried there.

Her only (seemingly) surviving child, Andrew was absent from Manchester 1836-1843 (roughly) so maybe no one was there to say where she should be buried.

I think Jane Frazer/Fraser may have outlived Andrew.

The Manchester Courier of 20 December 1856 has an announcement of the marriage of "Mr. Thomas Haffenden, of Gabriels-hill, Maidstone, to Hannah, youngest daughter of Mrs. Jane Fraser, of this city".

The marriage record (St Saviour, Chorlton-cum-Hardy) shows that Hannah was 34 (so born circa 1822 if that age is correct),  and that her father was Alexander Fraser, mechanic.  The witnesses were Henry and Jane Royle.

Possible baptism for Hannah in 1818 (born 5/10/1817) at Great George Street Independent Chapel in Liverpool. Parents Alexander Frazer, a labourer, and Jane nee Kelso.

Will have a closer look at that one.
There is a Jane Fraser born 1788 in Dumfries in the 1851 census living on Clarence Street Manchester. Which would mean it is possible that she was the mother of these Frasers.

I think this is spot on, just found Hannah Haffenden in the 1861 census (born 1823 in Liverpool) with mother Jane Frayer (Fraser misspelling). She married and became Hannah Nuttall, with a possible death record match giving her birthdate as 1820.

I see you just about beat me to this. Will see if any other births match up with the siblings in the wider area.
