Grave info Request - Cinderford St John's (General)

After having enjoyed a fantastic, but all to brief, visit to the FoD recently I was a little disappointed to have been unable to have found the grave of my GG Grandparents Jesse and Margaret Brain. Jesse b1850 d1897, Margaret(nee Murrell) b1849 d1912.

I know that they are both buried somewhere in the Churchyard at Cinderford St John's
and I would dearly love to have obtained a photograph of their grave. I know that it's
a long shot, but if anyone has managed to find the grave, or indeed has a photo of it,
I would love to hear from them.

Regards

Different churches have differing policies as to how long a grave can remain before being used again.

In the Forest Church there are gravestones around the edge and there are others that have been used to form paths, which is a practise I do not like.

In Ruardean, following road widening some gravestones of those graves that had been removed were placed against the wall.
