The Two Juanitas

As you walk through Teignmouth Old Cemetery, you can’t fail but be drawn to some of the graves that have been uncovered – it could be the headstone that catches your eye; or maybe you wonder about the epitaph; or, as in the case of this story, it may be the name of the person buried there – in this case Blanche Juanita Cooke, or rather Lady Blanche Juanita Cooke, wife of the 9th baronet.
