Advice for categorization of Ogden-2164?

I would like advice for the profile of Peter Skene Ogden.  I found his proper category for his resting place and added it to his profile.  Find a grave gives the cemetery a different name.  Should that name be added to the "aka" section of the existing wikitree cemetery "Fort St. James Anglican Cemetery" and the Find a Grave ID added?  He was on the list for "missing cemeteries".  I don't want there to be a conflict.

Thank you!

Good catch!  In my opinion, Find A Grave usually has the naming right but that exclude them from mistakes. I note that there is no gps coordinates in Find A Grave.  This is going to require more research to see how it's signage looks and what the locals call it.

It seems to be called Fort St James Anglican Cemetery aka Hudson's Bay Cemetery.  It is the oldest remnant of the early fur trading and existed long before the Anglican Church was built. There is another name as well, The Fur Trader Burial Ground.  Go look at A Walk Through Time produced by The Friends of The Fort St James National Historical Site Society.  Please also note that they talk about Peter Ogden as being the superintendent from 1869-1870.

I would say that Find A Grave has this wrong.  So in my opinion, the category has been set up correctly.  I did add the Find A Grave number to the category.
