The gravestone says Charles's wife was Frances Elizabeth nee Burt b 1913 d 1991 - "Burt" appears on the gravestone but it seems unlikely she married again. I raise this because DPB says she was the da of Cuthbert MAINWARING
Also buried in the same plot (see first photo) are Charles's brother James Eustace Naftel 1913-1983 and his wife Pearl nee Sandy b 1912 d 2005 (no death date in DPB)
