If anyone would like to locate a grave in this cemetery, some New Zealand descendants would be grateful.
We have a photo brought to New Zealand by my great grandmother almost a century ago. It is of three children standing by a grave in Ford Park Cemetery, Plymouth, and judging from their clothing, the photo could date from 1870-1900. There are four names on the headstone. Only the first two are readable, and they are Francis Selleck Glanvill and Sally Glanvill Piddington.
We would very much like to know
*if the stone is still in existence, and
*what wording is on it.
I have a hunch that it is a family burial plot for children.
We know Francis SG was born and died in 1849, so this grave would be in the oldest part of the cemetery which had opened just a couple of years before.
NB There is another headstone in the same cemetery for Francis Selleck Glanvill who died in 1861 and who is buried with Kings (his daughter and son-in-law). This is not the stone we are after. We believe this FSG was the father of the dead baby in the older grave.
Hoping someone can help,
