Aaah what a lovely story!
I ended up getting a marker made and installed by Kirkwoods [see below]. They were very good to deal with. It cost £600 all together - the marker was 18x30 inches and lies flat on the ground.
I have two other ancestor's graves that I would like to put markers on in Cork and Dublin. Kirkwoods gave me details of someone to try down there but they weren't too cooperative so I didn't bother with them.
Thank you everyone.

[email protected]My granda was buried in someone else's gave in city cemetary. my dad bought a small headstone and I think it cost under £100 - it looks lovely. My dad didn't get on with his dad, didn't know where he was buried and didn't care. I started doing my family tree and we got a bit more info about his life. My dad then went out and bought a headstone for his dad. I thought it was really touching - really made me see why I was doing my tree. It can bring father's and sons closer together even after death. K
