Her end was peace

There is a Frances Mary Tomlin, born in 1829 who married a William Head in 1848.

The 1851 census shows, presumably them, them living at 7 Priory Road  

    HEAD   William   Head   M   M   24   Butcher              Sussex - Fairlight      

    HEAD   Frances   Wife   M   F    22   Wife Of Butcher    Sussex - Hastings


Despite the impressive obelisk in in pink granite not a lot is known of this couple.  We know from the gravestone that Frances subsequently married a William James Breach.  However all these names are quite common in the district.
