I worked at Cranage Hall Hospital for 14 years, up to its closure. If you want to know anything and I can help you I will reply in private.

     I wonder how I would go about getting any documentation of my sisters still birth now.?? This happened in about 1945, so there are no parents alive, or their siblings.  My mother was upset over the event and it was a terrible time for all concerned.  She told me all the details of the event but never mentioned a registration.
     Any suggestions???

     My fathers mother died a few days after childbirth and the baby died a day or two around the time.  The baby boy had a separate coffin and funeral. My father was 6 years old at the time and was always under the impression that the baby was in the coffin with his mother.  I found out differently when I contacted the cemetery office.


     The baby boy had a birth and death certificate but with no  christian name on just "boy".

Regarding burial of still births. It was common for the baby to be buried in the grave of anyone who was being buried on that day.  The gravedigger would cut a piece out of the side of the grave and interr it.  I don't think a record was kept.  I think it was just a favour of the gravedigger to bury the body in consecrated ground.  My stillborn sister was put into my grandfathers grave by my father. They didn't want her put in with strangers...........Joan..
