The Lighter Side / Re: Sad listings.

Quote from: Jebber on Wednesday 17 September 25 08:58 BST (UK)
Many years ago I came across two very sad entries in some Parish Records (I wish I had made a note of the Parish and when), in the baptisms a  girl  named Not Wanted, then shortly afterwards her burial.
I wonder if the girls name "not wanted" really meant that the name was not required as she had died... not that the girl herself was not wanted.  She may have died before the entry was written in.
