Hi Hoot, many thanks for this. I've passed the details onto the local co-ordinator of the CWGC - but from the sounds of it there seems to be a very strong case for a headstone to be erected. If the CWGC agree then the first thing they will do is to start a search for surviving relatives, although they can, and do erect headstones without any family involvement. There is a "100 year rule" which applies to most churchyards when the grave "reverts" to the care of the Church rather than the family. ( I assume it's the same for Baptists? ) . But its always better if the family can be "reconnected" to their ancestor. Anyway I'll keep you informed if I can. Cheers Tim
