As this made me giggle

I found a Wine Baskett on the 1851 census!

What were his parents thinking of, he became a servant

This has made me think.  I am having trouble finding where my gt-gt-gt-grandparents are buried and now I remember that one of their children died aged 1 year, so perhaps they were the same and shared a plot as well.
Still doesn't tell me where they are buried in Cranbrook, but it is a new starting point!
