Underneath that was:

HOWARD WATTS: 1881–1914

DANIEL WATTS: 1896–1970 AND HIS

BELOVD WIFE 1901–1977.

‘Daniel must have been the little boy that Henrietta cared for,’ said Effy.

‘And Howard was only thirty-three when he died. So young,’ said Tash.

‘Looking at the date, maybe he died in the First World War,’ I commented. ‘And it looks as if he never married.’

It felt odd to be standing there over a stranger’s grave. What were this family like? I wondered. Whether I knew them or not, it was eerie to be there. Only a week ago, I was so sure of things. So sure of who I was. Now I felt like I didn’t know anything.

‘Moving on,’ called our guide and beckoned us to go back and join the group. ‘I have another group at eleven.’

‘Ask him about Henrietta,’ urged Tash and Effy raced forward to catch the guide up and we hurried to join her.

‘You need to talk to Harry. He looks after the grounds,’ the guide told Effy in answer to her question. ‘I can’t say the name Gleeson is a familiar one, but then some of the graves in the unconsecrated ground are unmarked. Harry will know though, or it will be on a map on the computer. All the graves are listed and accounted for.’

By this time, we were almost back at the courtyard we’d started from. We’d been around in a complete circle and could see a new group waiting at the gates. Our guide said goodbye and went over to greet them.

Effy, Tash and I made our way to the chapel where we found a middle-aged lady at a desk. ‘Is Harry here?’ I asked.

‘You just missed him, love,’ she said. ‘He’ll be back in a couple of hours. Can I help?’

Effy explained about the grave we were looking for.

‘No, Harry’s your man. I can’t help I’m afraid. Come back around two.’

I sighed. I was never going to get any homework done at this rate but no way was I going home now. We’d got so close and found the Watts grave. I had to stay and find Henrietta’s.

‘OK, let’s go and get a strong cappuccino,’ I said. ‘I need a break from the dead, let’s go and live a little.’
