Question: Why isn't Anne Bronte buried in the same vault with the entire rest of her family!?
I realize she is not as famous as her sisters Emily and Charlotte, but Emily was buried with her parents in the family vault below the church!. Anne died six months later and was buried separately!. Next came the deaths of Charlotte and much later a brother, Branwell, both of whom were buried with Emily and their parents in the vault!. You can find the the findagrave!.com information on Anne's burial here:

http://www!.findagrave!.com/cgi-bin/fg!.cgi!.!.!.I guess my point is that family doesn't care whether you're famous or not, especially considering that the majority of fame for even Emily and Charlotte came posthumously, so why the difference in the burial sites!?
Any ideas or known facts out there!?

anne Bronte, the youngest child of the Bronte family and authoress of the novels The Tenant Of Wildfell Hall and Agnes Grey is buried in the graveyard at St Mary's Church in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, England!. She died here on May 28th 1849 aged just 29 years old!. She is the only member of the Bronte family not to be buried in Haworth!. This is because she had discovered a fondness for being by the sea at Scarborough and when she fell ill, went with her sister Charlotte to Scarborough in order to rest!. The journey there was very precarious, with fears for Anne's life as she was now in the final stages of tuberculosis, the disease which had killed her brother Branwell and her beloved sister Emily the previous year!. There had been much speculation as to why her father did not attend the funeral, with a religious feast day being the most widely accepted view!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
