My parents are on holiday in Wales and have seen a gravestone in a churchyard with a family who had quadruplets, who all died within 10 days.
The family also lost two other children, and the father, within a two week window.
This is a link to the grave:

This is the burial record found on ancestry:

From the photo my parents have taken, Isaac (Snr's) age is 32. The burial entry says aged 31 and the GRO death index says 32.
I have found the family in 1851:

I have also found what I assume is the parents' marriage in 1849. Isaac Hughes married Margaret Hughes in Aberystwyth in 1849.
Just out of curiosity, we wondered what happened to the mother - Margaret Hughes.
There is a possible burial in 1871 here:

But I have been unable to find her in 1861 and it is close as to whether she was alive for the 1871 census. She was buried on the 6th and the census was taken on the 2nd.
I've never had to do much Welsh research at all, so the place names are very confusing, and I know that a surname like Hughes won't help matters.
If anyone can find out anything about Margaret (the mother), I would be very grateful!
Thanks for looking.
I must add - these are no relations of mine, just a family who have captured out interest.
