Hello Viv , Yes if several unrelated persons are buried in a grave then it would be impossible for all of them

to erect a headstone no room. As I mentioned there are some official Ballamona stones I've seen in Braddan

down at bottom -& they have up to 4 family names ONLY which has always rather pleased me - all burials from the

same hospital. // Two drowned soldiers [ from war] found together on same shore were buried together in

Glencrutchery from some troopship which must have come to grief----shared grave but CWGC headstones are

very narrow & they were erected touchingside by side. However if these were pauper burials surely it should

say so in church burial record book.
