Perreval gravestone St Margarets churchyard, Welsh Bicknor (General)
Discovered this gravestone in the churchyard and I would appreciate more information on these tragic deaths.
Marie, Elizabeth, Josephine
11yrs 9 months
Died Feb 6 1869
Agatha, Dorothea, Agnes (4th and 5th daughters in family)
15yrs 7 months
Died Feb 10 1869
It looks like
A & E Perreval (maybe the parents?)
then
Glyn Wye
It appears that 6 daughters died within a period of 4 days.
Does anyone have more information as to these circumstances.
Thank you

Thank you so much for this. Yes, you are right - it is two daughters not 6! The headstones were not easy to read and it appeared that the 6 names applied to 6 individuals. Also, it was Percival not Perreval. It is sad the family lost a 13 yr old and a 15yr old within 4 days of each other. Without getting the death certificates, we do not know why.
