Happy to help but good contributions by all! :).  I tried looking up the Lair books to see if I could find who else was buried there but the lairs are not in numerical order and I couldn't see any other number that would help make the search easier. If I stumble across it will let you know!

Good Morning All,

Still shocked at how quickly you solved this mystery I have to admit I had been looking in the wrong country for years! So well done again. It was only when a friend suggested posting here that I actively moved the search location and here we have days later a result ! :)

I am going to show more ignorance here but is a `lair` simply a grave ?  Would `Compartment 1 ` be similar to `Section 1` as shown in a cemetery plan for instance?

Would the `lair` be marked with a headstone or could it be an unmarked plot ? Or would the answer to that one be someone would have to physically check it out?

Still buzzing  :)

Jim

The cemetery staff have a lair-map showing the graves/lairs, not all have headstones. The cemetery itself is divided into sections/compartments which might or might not have a marker. The staff's book will have the number of burials in each lair & dates of interments.

Skoosh.
