Hello,
Are you close to Parklawn Cemetery in the Preston area of Cambridge? I have a few relatives buried there. I don't have the lair numbers as such but do know the section and lot number according to info found on the internet.
Regards, Nan

Hello again,
As the weather is still not great for walking around cemeteries, I tried to find my original source for the location of the gravestones. According to OCFA they are in CDE section. According to another source which I unfortunately didn't record they are in Concession BF Lot 23/26. Hopefully you will be able to find the gravestones. Some time ago someone sent me photos of other relatives buried there. The gravestones were from approximately the same time period and were flat and set into the ground.
 William James HUGHES born 28 June 1874 in London England and died about 1964 or 1965 in Preston
Charlotte Hughes MS Bates (his wife)born 26 July 1879 also in London England. She died sometime after the 1968 Canada Voters List was made.
Charlotte Julia RITCHIE MS Hughes (daughter)who was born in 1901 in London England and died after 1974 in Preston.
Harry Ritchie her husband who also died in Preston some time after the 1974 Canada Voters List was completed
Thank you again for your offer
Nan

Thank you very much for taking those great photos of the gravestones and sending them to me. I always have a great feeling of satisfaction when I track down the important details of an individual's life.  As you probably know it is very difficult to find these details for those relatives who lived in the 1900's in Canada. Thanks to your efforts I have been able to close another short chapter in the family history.
Kind regards, Nan
