It's probably more to do with the age of my brain, rather than the warm weather  :o

ADDED:

But then we all have to learn something new.  ;)

  Graham - re your graph, was it a labour of love on someone's part, or is there an easy way to work that out? It is the sort of thing I sometimes find myself doing with figures on bits of paper, but maybe technology can help?

I now have a spreadsheet of about 10,000 burials. This has allowed me to look at the data in a number of ways - it has identified the impact of plague and of famine, the relative popularity of forenames, the decline of infant mortality from the early 20th century, the increase in life expectancy, and the rise and fall of family surnames as well. It's fascinating.

  I had a feeling spreadsheets might be involved. I have never learned to use them, but I would love to be able to do that sort of thing. I have tried once or twice; perhaps I can find an on-line tutorial.

Many of my lot who died in the winter did die of illnesses that were more common in the winter months such as pneumonia or bronchitis etc. One died in April of bronchitis but was admitted to Holborn Infirmary that early March so may have had a bad cold.

One died in January 1963, during the great winter.

What is the  inscription on each headstone?

How is the inscription presented eg central to the stone, suggesting that no other burial was intended?.

Placed at the top with room for later, additional burial/inscription?

Central - for each of the parents, and a much smaller headstone for the daughter.
