It's possible that she was recorded on 1901 and 1911 with husband even though she wasn't actually in the house! Wouldn't explain 2 Lucys' deaths though. I'm assuming they have same birth year parents' details on the gravestones, hence the puzzle? How did you find out about the other Lucy's burial? |

it seems to be common practice back then to name a chikld after one who had died - in my Dad's family, baby Nancy died and when the next little girl was born the children all said "We have another Nancy" so she was called Nancy too |
