Hi
I would like more information about a grave in St Helen's, Churchtown, Garstang grave yard.
I believe Thomas Seed age 85 was buried there in 1839, and his wife Ann age 85 in 1842.
Lancs opc have the name on the grave as William Seed, but I'm fairly sure that there has been a mistake, either at time of burial, or in later transcribing of the record. All details apart from the first name are correct, and there is no William Seed death in registers for this time/place.
Does anyone know where I can find information about the grave or an MI?
(Assuming there is a stone)
Many thanks.

State of recording of inscriptions is complete "between the known dates". Recordings were made by the Womens' Institute. Location of the record is not stated.
