Thank you all for your help! ;D I agree that it's some sort of pauper plot.

Do you have the names of the other occupants.  If so you can presumably tell if they are related or not.  Was your burial the earliest one in the time frame?

None of them have the same last name or seem to be related and the earliest burial was 22nd of April (1915), 'My' burial was buried on the 1st of July (1915) and was the 12th person to be buried in the plot.

I recently bought grave details from Deceased Online and it says there was 17 other people buried in the same plot. They were all buried between April and August 1915, some buried on the same day. Is this a shared plot for paupers or just an error?

Does anyone know what regiment this man is in? I'm trying to figure out who it is and it would help if i knew. I think this photo is 1910s so possibly WW1. I'm sure it's in Sussex but none of the photo's of The Royal Sussex Regiment from WW1 looks similar.

did Edwin fight in WW1? That may account for it if he did.

 I can't find anything to say he did fight or was discharged from the army so i would say no.

Do you know who the infant is? If you know when they were born, that would be a good dating clue.

They could possibly be Olive Mary Lindsey, Edwin's daughter but i don't think they share many features. There is another baby far right but you can't see their face. If it was Olive M it would put the photo around late 1914/1915. Olive M's sister Margaret may be the other baby putting it late 1916 but     
I'm not sure.

The second photo - is there anyone or anything identifiable in the rest of the photo?

The full photo is a wedding group in front of a house somewhere in surrey. I have been looking for the house for a few weeks now with no luck. Edwin's wife (Olive) could possibly be sitting in front of him next to her supposed brother (Arthur). Her sister (Kate) might be the one on the rug and another sister (Violet) could be sitting far left in the white dress. I will attach photos of the comparisons and the original photo. (I think the sign in the back says "Eton Cottages" but it is hard to tell)

Do you have any idea of dates photos were taken? One on the right looks a bit older - hair receding.

There is no date on the back of the right photo but if it is Edwin it could be around 1916 (he would be 25), if not i think it could be 1912/1913. The one on the left i got from an ancestry tree, they said it's dated 1915 meaning he would be 24 which looks correct. The photos are only (supposedly!) a year apart so not to much would have changed.

No name are on the back of the photo so i have been going off looks which has been proven quite difficult.
