Well no, don't worry I'm not upset!! It's not very nice I know ... but I think 'disposal' is what one probably believes used to happen quite a lot?
I know that nowadays, one gets footprints and photos and allsorts. I don't know if this helps all bereaved parents, but I'm sure it is a comfort to many.
But I think the view 50/60 years ago was usually very different and mothers were encouraged not to dwell on it: but to put it behind them, as if it had never happened.
I think that was what my mother was trying to do: so it was not talked about.
Never mind. To know that his existence is noted somewhere is good.

Maybe the information - burial and place of - will be on this special certificate that I am hoping to locate?

I think 1938, 1939 or 1940 is rather too long ago for me to contact the bereavement services. Although the fact that your uncle was buried in 1945 is cheering; not so long after 1940? Thanks for that snippet.

My parents were CofE and quite religous. I can remember kneeling to say my prayers every night when I was tiny.

We shall see??

Thanks Johnathon

Is the COE burial register different from the National Burial Index and where does one find it?
I assume that a cemetery register is specific to each individual cemetery? Do they all keep them? I also assume this refers to a cemetery as opposed to a church Graveyard?

At this moment in time, I'm not sure exactly which area: but I have been assured, on this thread, that the GRO will be able to issue a stillbirth certificate for me, on the sketchy information I have stated that I have ... for a small search fee.
Once I have the certificate, I assume, amongst other things, it will tell me where the event took place with the exact date?
If it does; and if I may, .. I will get back to you then, re. burials.
Thanks

I had decided to add my "brother" who died shortly after his birth and was never, as I understood noted as a child born to my Mother. They, at the hospital took him away stating that he was "deformed and would not have survived anyway".......My mother never saw,or even touched him and never knew what they had done with him....in later years she told me many times that she had never been given the chance to grieve or finalise this sad event.....She had a name chosen and many years later my brother who came next after him called his son by this name
"Nigel". I too feel my mother's pain and acknowledge that "Nigel" was born and lived and breathed even if only for a few minutes........
Thanks to all of you for this discussion, hope you find what is needed.

Goodnight one and all.

I am going to have an early night.

Carry on chatting on this thread if you wish.

I hope no one has been upset by anything contained here? If they have, I apologise for bringing the subject up but there were things I needed to know.

I have learned a lot, and so it seems have others amongst you? Thank you everyone.

Carole

Good morning

I will be out for most of today, so no response does not mean I am ignoring anyone.
