Hi Frazer, Most people were buried without a headstone in unmarked graves because of the cost. Only middle to very wealthy people could afford the cost of getting a headstone carved. You might get a wooden cross but this would decay over a few decades. However, the parish records in the Leics Record Centre or on some online sites will still record the burial. I have done this before in several churchyards trying to find a headstone but only rarely successfully.
