3 of the children's graves are next to their parents' headstones. I believe they were sent abroad at a young age and returned when they were old. There's a book that can be bought at the cemetery that lists the headstones and as much as can be remembered about their lives in Chiang Mai. Major Roy Hudson I believe is the author.

Thank you very much ,, I had found the names in the cemetery that is where I finally got some dates as my original family information only had David's name and his birth date, so the cemetery information was a real help

I will see if I can get a hold of this book you metion
