Devon / Re: Littleham, Exmouth, Graveyard

Hi from Chatham, Ontario, Canada.  My wife & I travelled to the U.K. last May & spent a full day at the Littleham, Devon cemetery.  Found my great & great great grandfathers as well as may other Carnells.  It is the St. Margaret & St. Andrew church graveyard.  In the afternoon you will find a number of volunteers in the church who are very helpful as to your ancestors final resting places.  There is a map posted, but I found our ancestor's graves thanks to the gardener who had a cell phone & called the registrar & then took me directly to the area.  As there were no stones, only concrete biers with the names inscribed, we had to remove all the weeds to access such.  All ended well & I spent some time inside the church, thinking about all those who came before me.  Very humbling indeed.
