Hi, Im new to the Forum I wonder if you could help me. I had a sister born in 1962 at Marston Green Maternity Hospital, unfortunately she was stillborn. I was 14 at the time and it was never talked about at home, where would I find where the records would have gone after Marston Green was closed. I hope you can please help.
The location of hospital records can be found at nationalarchives.gov.uk/hospitalrecords. The Access to Medical Records Act will give you details of access rights.Hi, Im new to the Forum I wonder if you could help me.

Hello maggs, do you mean Lodge Hill? My Grandparents were cremated there in the 60's. The online burial index for local cerematoria wasn't working last time I tried.
I'm sorry to hear that, it's my Dad's "anniversary" on Monday, he was cremated at Lodge Hill too. Maybe you could email them with the date, and they may be able to find your Dad. When Mum died they found the plot where he was scattered, so she could be scattered there too.

I was told that the graves nearest the railing caved in and were grassed over some time in the twentieth century I believe. My uncle told me that he drove past in the 1960's and the family stone was visible then.I have been looking for my rellies at Yardley cemetary and found they were in Public graves,"I said ,paupers grave?" and the lady was very upset that I called it that as she said ,that was what everyone expected at the time ( iwas looking at 1900),she said it's the same as cremation is today.
They hold the records of each grave,which held about 10 people ,when the plot was full they grassed it over.My Great grandfather is grave 6355 and is in the Woodland Rose garden area,which is on the right against the fence from the Yardley Road side.
AS the map has the grass in front of the cemetary alongside Yardley road Does that mean that they were Public graves ,I seemed to remember gravestones there when I was a child,does anyone else remember these stones?does anyone know when the public graves stopped and people had to buy a grave,other than DSS burials?
