Has anyone heard of a custom to light a yahrzeit candle not on the eve of the actual yahrzeit, but on the eve of the preceding Shabbos? I know that there are other customs for the preceding Shabbos, such as saying kaddish, davening for the amud, possibly saying Kel Malei Rachamim, etc.--but is burning the memorial candle over that Shabbos also a tradition by anyone? (By whom?)
Motive: I am trying to find out if it could be my family's actual custom to do so, or if a relative instructed me to do this based on a misunderstanding.
