I have done the same on the memorial stone for my wife. On the bottom it says "Beloved wife of Russell Taylor" and there is room for the date of my death to be added later.
Also her son by her first husband who died in 1973 aged 8 is buried in the fathers grave. We put a memorial on the grave using the son's name "Tregurtha" (my wife's maiden name) because his father would not put his own name on the birth certificate. The father died later and no one knows any other relative.
There may be some person from the fathers family, who in the future, objects to the memorial so the Cemetery superintendent told us it would be in order to have the little boys name on his mothers memorial. That way he will not be forgotten.
I was advised to watch the Winterston TV program and sat through it with nowt else to do. I don't think I would have bothered otherwise. It didn't show Accrington in a good light in my opinion.
