Great Great Aunt Harriett Prestidge born in Moreton Pinkney Northamptonshire worked in service all her life.
On 1901 census she is in service in Rutland with lots of other staff, one of which was Florence M. Sibley born in Somerset.
On 1911 she is in Leicestershire with the same family but Florence is back in Somerset.
Now for the strange part..... in 1924 Florence dies in Moreton Pinkney and is buried in the parish church graveyard...in 1934, 10 years later, Harriett dies and is buried in the same grave, both were spinsters. Have a photo of the gravestone with both their names and years of birth and deaths.
Harrietts' family and loads of relations are also buried in the church cemetary so I am wondering why she was buried with Florence. Just because they were friends???
Any ideas?
