Children buried together in the Pauper Section 4 Division 3 (Bukit Brown)

While exploring Pauper Section 4, Division 3, we came across a clearing where there were no tombs in quite a large area except for 1 tomb (see below). That got us curious. The solitary tomb fortunately had a plot number attached. Nearby this solitary tomb were some visible plot markers - 711 (with the 7 broken), 721. 732 and 743. With this information, i am able to map who are the people buried here in Pauper 4 Division 3 . Let me start with the one with the solitary tombstone found first. 

Koh Chee Cheng - Male - 1 year and 1 month old -  Hokkien - died 6 June 1941.v-plot 733

Koh Chee Cheng - passed away at the age of 1 year and 1 month old on 6 June 1941

Using the plot markers as evidence, i am able to uncover those who are buried nearby baby Koh Chee Cheng. They carry no tombs but only plot markers. 

Buried in the same plot of 733 plot marker, but subdivided are:

Unamed child of Ng Chee Seng -Male- (age not stated) - Hokkien - died 6 June 1941 (plot 733A)
