Sorry, but one last thing that I would like to add. Even though one of my g-grandmothers died in Sussex, Uk, and she was buried there, she is still mentioned on the grave-stone of her husband. My g-grandfather (her husband) died decades earlier, and was buried in a graveyard in Romsey, Hampshire, Uk where they were living at the time. However, there was a mention of his wife on his gravestone, even though she died much later in Sussex.
