Sandra,
Thanks you have confirmed my finds in Knollwood Memorial Park.
I find it strange that David or his parents grave does not seem to show up. The fact that he was in Service when he died you would think there would be a headstone somewhere.

I absolutely agree, it is strange and none of the death  notices mention a cemetery (apart from George)  You have the dates of death for David, Thomas and Jane so I wonder if you wrote or emailed that cemetery whether anything would show in there records  :-\
