Thank you very much. I was wondering the same about the child that died within hours.

Yes I do have the certificates, I will try that, thank you.

Sometime a baby that was stillborn or died a few after was buried in the coffin of an adult who was being buried at the same time .
This adult most likely was a stranger to the family

The little one aged two is more likely to have their one funeral

Have you got the death cert . For that time it's most likely a municipal cemetery and the parks and cemeteries dept of the local council will have the details . Give them the info from the death cert

Apologies if there are posts on the above, but I couldn't see anything jumping out at me.

I'm trying to find graves of twin girls. One died in 1908 (she was a few hours old) and one died in 1911 (she was nearly 2 years old).

The first died in Hendon in 1908 and the second died in Cricklewood in 1911.

I called Hendon cemetery and they have no record of them. I spoke to someone in Westminster that covers Paddington cemetery (I think) and they have no records of them and I've called St Pancras Cemetery and they haven't bothered coming back to me.

Can anyone suggest where else I could try please?

I saw there was a website Billion Graves, but haven't pursued that. I thought I'd see if anyone could help me on here first.

Thank you in advance.
Jane
