Cemetery records - abbreviations in Situation column
« on: Thursday 09 November 23 21:55 GMT (UK) »
I'm looking at some burial records in a municipal cemetery, not church land. Under the Place of Burial section it has a subcolumn of "Situation". The plot numbers are usually seen in here, but other times I'm seeing a small letter "a" after the section letter, e.g. "C.a.". Does anyone know what the small a means?
