I will ask the question - do you know for certain that she is in that grave because she is listed on the headstone - or because she is listed on the summary page of the index of who is in the grave.
I ask because I did a huge search for somebody who we thought was in my grandmother's grave, created a whole family tree for them, asked a lot of relatives and then phoned the cemetery and discovered she wasn't in that grave, but a typing mistake had been made on the index.

I phoned them and asked if the person was in Grave No. ?? they checked their registers and said she wasn't, so the mistake must have been in the transcribing. Call them 0151 522 1017
Thank you

Unless you can find a marriage between a McKenna and a Mary ... perhaps Lockwood, then I think the best idea is to get the death certificate and see what her address was and who registered the death, this might give a couple more clues.
