Good afternoon. What a nice crisp day it is. Janska - Thank you. Have contacted Birmingham City Council to ask they search their historical burial records of the time, October / November 1947, reference shared burial. With no staff at the cemeteries now, it is very difficult for a member of...

Why I consider churchyards not being a meaningful place to look? Until recent times, the Church of England and Roman Catholic Church did not allow miscarried or stillborn babies to be buried in consecrated ground, as they had not been baptized; it was thought (explicitly by Catholics, more...

Lyn Will do. I know others are on the same journey as me. The answer we seek will not be found in the public digital burial records of Birmingham City Council. The answer will be found in the actual burial registers of the time. Stillborn children who have mysteriously disappeared, uncounted...

Lyn - Thanks My sister is buried in one of those two. The information I have would be well known to officialdom. Burials took place near Loveday Hospital, no where else. Shaun-C

I have good information that still-born children of Loveday hospital were buried in the cemeteries nearest to the hospital which I have always believed to be the case. I will be contacting Birmingham City Council to ask for a more robust search of their hard records. Shaun-C

Thank you for the link and for your time in reading the post. It is a nightmare. Parents who were unwilling to talk because of their distress with the result some information is lost. I have my sister's name, her time and date of birth, the hospital where the birth took place, even Jacqueline...

Janice Thank you. I feel I am hitting my head against a brick wall. I do believe there is someone out there that will provide the answer I am searching for. Shaun-C

Good afternoon Question: Were stillborn children baptised before burial. Reason: there are records of baptism within the Loveday hospital records held by the Birmingham library. Thank you Shaun-C

cba. Thank you. There are records of over 1000+ stillborn children on the Birmingham City Council website. If one inputs “stillborn” into the first name field and then press “search“ the records are displayed. https://birminghamburialrecords.co.uk/ Shaun-C

Is there anyone out there who has an insight on children born stillborn at Loveday Hospital regard to their placed at rest? I can not except that a child born, the birth registered, her weight recorded can simply disappear without trace. How can that be? Is there anyone who knows of a member...

Nick Thank you for reading the post and engaging, it's through that process we move forward. Shaun-C

Number 0121 303 4368 is not recognised like all the direct numbers to the cemeteries. Shame, I understand the staff were very helpful. Shaun-C

Nick thanks. The issue is all of the cemetery offices are closed and one needs to speak directly with the Council's Bereavement Services. This not to be taken as a criticism of them, they are working in difficult times and have been helpful, however, all Bereavement Services have are the...

Lyn like it as it is……..one feels so much younger! Seriously, Thank you all for your time and help Shaun-C

Still getting use to be a Brummie baby must take years to master Brummie! thank you
