Monument
This small broken column in the pariah of St Paul is marked as being in row 24 plot 28/29. As the inscription is very eroded all we could make out in 2020 was Thom. The stone has fallen to the west from it’s base but was too heavy to move so we were not able to see if any of the inscription remains on the other side. It lies directly in front of the Atkins grave set PL437 which is listed as row 23 plot 28. So in the right area. It is now covered by bramble.
The names & dates in the grave & burial register are
Frederick Thomas Morley of Queen St died January 1854 aged 5 plot 29
George Morley of Islington aged 1½ June 1855 plot 29
Thomas Morley of Islington Middlesex aged 3 yrs 6 mo May 1863 plot 28
The next plot with no marker is for
George Steed died 17th December 1856 aged 23 – the boys’ maternal uncle, and Hannah Steed died January 1863 aged 68 – the boys grandmother. Both died in Queen St. Their deaths were recorded in the Cambridge Independent Press

This life story has been difficult to research, as none of the deaths are in the grave register
