Twins born Sorrento 1944 - both deceased

[lynneyb]

My mother had twins in the Sorrento in 1944. In those days nobody knew she was having twins. One died at birth, and the surviving twin lived for 5 mon​

That's 5 months. The second baby is buried at Lickey End. I would like to know where the still born babies are buried

Sadly this may not be possible as back then many still born babies were simply buried with an adult who died around the same time. It is debatable if records were kept.

If you can face this sad story then the following thread tells of one person's efforts to find such a burial.

Thread 'Loveday Street Hospital..the search for my sister'

Dec 15, 2023

Looking for some advise.

Trying to trace my sister ( Jacqueline ) who was born at Loveday Hospital on the 25th October 1947. Sadly she was stillborn. I have her stillborn record, date and time of her birth and even her weight at birth. Contacted Birmingham Council who said there is no record of Jacqueline burial and her resting place must be in another council area. I have checked Dudley and Cradley Heath were my parents lived. No Joy. Also talked to a local Funeral Director near where the hospital was located and they can't help. Question, how likely was Jacqueline and other stillborn...

Lynn, I've edited the title of your thread, as it was rather long, but that information has been moved to your first post.
