That should have said ada

Have a look at the Gravestone Photos site - http://www.gravestonephotos.com/
There's someone there who looks a good match for your Ada, in Linthorpe Cemetery. There's a thumbnail image on the site, and a larger one can be requested.

Many thanks I have requested an image and will look into where she is buried.
I will also keep looking for Robert, he must be in Middlesbrough somewhere.
Thanks again.

Thanks, had a look tonight but couldn't find it.
Given that the last 2 names died first who's plot is it?
Andy
ps never heard of Herbert Alfred

When someone's name appears on a memorial, there's no guarantee that they are buried there - my wife has found one in Kent which names family members who had emigrated to the USA and died there, and I'm sure she's not the only one.
In this case, the inscription suggests to me that the stone was placed there after Ada died, and her surviving children decided to commemorate Herbert Alfred and Annie as well - and they could have been buried anywhere. There's also the possibility that Herbert Alfred and/or Annie were buried there first, and then Ada, but that the stone wasn't placed there until she died. The only way of knowing for certain who is buried there would be to check the cemetery burial records.
The birth of a Herbert Alfred Hayes was registered in Middlesbrough in Dec qtr 1903 (9d 591), which seems possible. I'll leave looking for Annie to you... :)

Ada Hayes nee bell, Annie is her sister.
Herbert died young and I can't find him on the census records.
John William Hayes, ada's husband died at sea in 1916.
My living relatives do not know the whereabouts of ada's Father William bell or a Robert knight land mentioned previously.
Thanks to everyone who has helped ;D

If you're using Ancestry, you'll find the family transcribed as HOYES in 1911.

Ahaaaa, that would be why I can't find them
Thanks

I have received an image of the headstone and it would appear to be laid flat, this is probably why I couldn't find it.
Does anybody know if there's any way to have it re-erected?

Depending on who "owns" the grave space , you may have to get the deeds transferred over to you before any work can be done on the memorial.
Also , if the other relation you're looking for is buried in a Middlesbrough cemetery , the cemeteries office should be able to give you details.
