I wonder how much the gravestone cost for Thomas, must have cost a fair few bob back in those days.

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/233073605/thomas-deaves

He was buried in Longden Cemetery on the outskirts of Shrewsbury , his wife Sarah was buried in St Chad’s in the centre of Shrewsbury , I’ve requested plot details but archives don’t have it , they do say that George and Margaret that feature on the gravestone are NOT buried there and they have no record for them being buried in Shrewsbury. I wonder where they are.

And why Sarah and Thomas weren’t buried at the same place.

Sarah appears to have no gravestone ( or it was poor quality and has crumbled )

Would love to know what was in Thomas Deaves will

You can add James Deaves to the list of children of Thomas and Sarah.

James  Deaves Clothier of Shrewsbury first married Emma Wyatt 1845, they had Eliza 1845,

Ann 1848,  Priscilla 1849, Emma 1851 and Lucy 1853.

Emma his wife dies 1865 and is buried Longden Road Cemetery.
--------------
He marries 2nd. Mary Croft spinster age 45, he was age 44 widower. at Holy Trinity 29 January 1867
His father Thomas Deaves - ShoeMaker**
Her father John Croft - Miner

Ref: Image on FindMyPast

Notes when daughter Emma married 1869 to Samuel Price of Coleham she is described as his third daughter, she is actually the 4th daughter.

ADDED The first daughter Eliza born 12 May 1845 died 1849 age 3. So that's why the order of the daughters changed.
