Many thanks Rosie,
She is my wife's grandmother's sister, and grandmother to my wife's cousin.
I know that she's buried Plot 1093, Minehead Cemetry, Porlock Road, Somerset, and just wondered whether the ancestry record was a headstone transcription.

It's the church burial register, but "Cemetery" is written in the margin to show where the actual burial was. (and the abode is Minehead, not Muirhead).

(Serendipity strikes again: Another name on that page looked familiar. It turns out to be one of my gg-aunts, who died in a hotel in Minehead and was buried there, even though she lived in London.)
