Then I realised that grandfather was cremated so not in the grave.
There are 4 name on the headstone but only one in the grave. I found that the two sisters of my mother were elsewhere in the cemetery after a visit to The Word which have the records.
If a family member died after about 1956 they would probably be cremated either at Westend Cemetery Newcastle or Shields Crem. But that would be in the mid to late 60’s. My grandparents who Died in 1 in 1956 and 2 in 1959& 60 cremated at the Westend Crem.
So don’t rely on the headstone information.
My grandfathers sister in given on Grandparents gravestone but probably cremated at Shields in 1972.
