The grave of George Trant

It is not clear from the gravestone if his daughter Sarah is also buried here, or just remembered on the stone. I suspect she was buried in Wales, especially as her name follows her father's, although she died 10 years earlier (although stones only being erected after a later death, not the first in a grave, are far from unknown)

Inscription:
In
Memory of
George Trant
who departed this
Life on the 9^th day
of January 1867
in the 78^th year
of his age.
Also Sarah
Daughter of the above
who died in Wales
on the 4^th day of January 1857
Aged 42 Years.

This grave is leaning towards that of Thomas Bellett and his wife Elizabeth; Elizabeth was a Trant before her marriage so this seems the part of the churchyard where the Trant family were buried. But so far (at the time of writing, March 2013) I have yet to find how the family of which Elizabeth was a member relates to my Trant ancestors / relations.

Status: Located

East Allington Churchyard, East Allington, Devon, England
