So what is recorded about them, there? Ages, dates, where they lived,
other names on the same stone/s as Marion Charles??
If it is a *public* cemetery, it may be uncertain where the boundaries
of <your> Cameron plot are.
Cheers.........

Hi Alec...
I was referring to Ontario and the Cataracqui Cemetery is in Kingston
Ontario, Canada. Janet "Jessie" Fordyce Sutherland (Cameron) was from
Nova
Scotia. She was however born In New Glasgow, Nova Scotia or Scotland on
23 Aug 1824, married James Grant CAMERON 31 Dec 1839, and died 25 Jan
1896
in Kingston (Brockville) Ontario, buried 27 Jan 1896, the Obit in the
Brockville Times stated the body was taken by train. However husband,
James G. Cameron b. 31 May, 1812-d 29 Mar 1891, buried in Moncton,
New Brunswick,Canada. The two had separated, not divorced however.
There are 7 graves grouped together, same identicalflat stones
in this Cameron Plot at Cataracqui, (close to Prime Minister Macdonald)
I have 1 photo of the gravesites then, and a recent one a Cameron Cousin
took of the exact spot last year. Of course the trees are mature now,
and the neighboring graves are all intact in perpetual spots, but the 7
gravestones, that were identical have recently been removed. Why???
You can see from the photo where they previously were. I will phone the
Cataracqui Cemetery to inquire, but I was told that a Charles Cameron
and Marion Cameron were amongst the other 7 all Cameron surnames.
I will get back to you on it, I have been out of town...
Calling now, don't really know how to do this, but wish me success!
Cameron Cousin, Peg V
