hi thanks shall ring and ask them. we did go round the churchyard were they are supposed to be buried needless to say we never found anything not even a grave marker, as some of the graves had just initials on a very small stone i know in the council cemetry they dont even do that, and cannot tell you were they are. it seems so sad. sharmala.
