The grave of Philip and Sarah Inman and their son John

My great grandfather (John Inman) and his parents Philip and Sarah; also Philip's brother Isaiah.

This is an unusual stone in that all 3 of the men on the stone were remarried after being left a widower, but of their 6 wives it would appear only one is buried with them.
Philip's second wife, Hannah, was younger and remarried after his death - she was probably buried with her 2nd husband.
John's first wife was buried in Margate where they lived at the time of her death. He returned to Yorkshire to live with his second wife in Harrogate. I don't know where she was buried - maybe there was no room in this grave or she was added after this photo was taken.
I don't know why Isaiah was not buried with either of his wives, both of whom pre-deceased him, or if he was, why no inscription records it. His second wife may have been buried with their son who died in childhood; maybe there was no room for a 3rd burial.

Status: Not yet located
Plot: [Gravestones removed from burial plots in the churchyard in (I think) the 1970s]

St. John the Baptist Churchyard, Knaresborough, Knaresborough, Yorkshire, England

Notes: The gravestones in this churchyard were removed in the 1970s and consequently the few photos I have are only ones taken many years ago.
