When wandering Forthill old cemetery in Cookstown, County Tyrone, in 2016 . I came across a grave marker for a Great Uncle, his wife and several children. Little did I know, until this week, that there were actually thirteen family members buried in the double plot. Without knowing it I standing at the graves of my 2x GGrandmother and GGrandparents among others. I am unsure if this is a common practice in Ireland, but, I would suggest never giving up and using all available resources in your search for your buried ancestors. Regards, Christine Scarrow
