Probably the WRONG record:
The burial record here is for a Margaret Ann, probably single and buried with other families. This could be her, as single, but age is a year out, and Cooper, Kay and Singleton do not appear to be related, unless they are related to sister Mary Ann:
A1413 – Old Ground Left T13
Mather, Margaret Ann (not on headstone) – age:81 bur. 20.3.1965
Cooper, John James – d. 6.2.1936 age:56 bur. 8.2.1936 A352
Cooper, Winifred – d. 7.1.1947 age:69 bur. 11.1.1947 A798
Kay, Elizabeth – d. 2.4.1912 age:74
