Just an idea, but maybe it means they bought a double plot so the husband or
wife could be buried in the same grave later.
I have one who bought a grave that would eventually take four. Sounds a bit
gruesome, but the first one would go in much deeper, then more could be
added on top.

Regarding infant mortality, it was very high in much of England in the mid
1800's due to scarlet fever. And partly to tuberculosis.
All the best,
Hazel,
Rochford, Essex
