NB - 16 other, unrelated people buried in the save grave.

The parentage stated in the LGC register is rather mysterious - Richard and what looks like 'Ann' Wormald.

George lived at 25 Dover St., which is probably where the Laycocks lived in 1871.

Cannot find a Richard and Ann Wormald together around that time, and FreeBMD have no marriages of a Richard Wormald to an Ann.
