There is a photograph of the gravestone commemorating James Silas Talbot BUTCHER and his wife Sarah Ann under Public Member Photos on Ancestry.co.uk. His brother Charles is said to be buried close by.
The inscription reveals that "my husband James BUTCHER died 1929 aged 82" and "also of his beloved wife Sarah Ann died 19 January 1943 aged 82". This age at death is consistent with a birth in 1861 but is at variance with the entry on FreeBMD (apparently 100% complete for 1943)
