Cheri, as you know, I put the records for the old Catholic cemetery in Hayward into a database. The cemetery began burying people in 1875. The graves were purchased (I entered the deed book information) and there was no perpetual care. That means that the person who owned the grave was responsible for the care of the plot forever. Also, it meant that that owner could bury as many people as he/she wanted. In going over the database for someone, I found the family and was asked to take a picture of any grave markers. When I did that, I found that there was a marker for a baby that was not listed in any of the books. When I wrote to HI to the person asking for information, I was told that her aunt and uncle had visited Hayward during that time. The family in HI knew nothing of a baby that had been buried here in Hayward. If the cemetery where you researched had/has perpetual care, I think it would been harder to bury someone without the cemetery having record of that. If no perpetual care, it can happen.

One was a baby one may have been around 2 or 3. That cemetery has pretty good records. It also does not make sense that they would have gone miles and miles to a place that they did not reside in for almost 20 years. The typo makes better sense. I was thinking because of the distance that they had the body reinterred at a later date. But the cemetery confirmed it's a typo and they have only 1 Manuel and that the plot is full and they know who all 8 people are.
