Lancashire / Re: stillborn children's graves

Blackburn with Darwen Cemetery Records are fully searchable on film in both Blackburn and Darwen Libraries.  You can also go to the Cemeteries Office if you have a date and look yourself at the originals although this isn't encouraged.  They have always looked to see who was in the grave I wanted, given me names and dates of burial too.

Sorry that Manchester aren't as accommodating.  I am sure you can insist on seeing or getting the information from them.

Good luck,
Pauline

Good morning everyone,
If you want to know where a still born baby is buried, look in the burial books of the local cemetery or ring the local cemetery office.  You need to know the date of birth/death for this.  There will be an entry for them, eg -
Still born son of Joe Bloggs, sometimes an address, then Grave number 123.  Ask who else is in the grave and you should be told.

Good luck

Stillborn children are registered.

You need to be next of kin to get copies of their birth/death certificates.  You will also need to know the date of death.  Apply to the Registrar's Office just as you would for any certificate but you need to fill in a special form.

Lancashire / Re: WILDs of Darwen

Hi,
I have a Mary Wild who married my great grandfather George Hansell in Blackburn Registrars Office in June Qtr 1907.  She died in 1917 in Darwen.
George died shortly afterwards. 

I have no other information about her as I have never sent for this marriage certificate, being a late marriage, George would have been 63 and already had a rake of children.  One day I might take this further as I am looking for the youngest son of George, another George who was in the Industrial School in Bolton in the 1911 census.

If I every find anything about Mary, I will let you know.

Best wishes,
Pauline in Darwen

Blackamoor Cemetery at Guide is the cemetery of St James Church, Lower Darwen.  If you need to look around the cemetery, make arrangements with the vicar as the cemetery is kept locked due to vandals.

Telephone number and address:
01254 53898
St. James Vicarage, Stopes Brow, Lower Darwen, Darwen, BB3 0QP

Hope this helps,
Pauline

Lancashire / Re: The man with 175 Grandchildren ....

My g-g-grandfather was one of 22 children.  Only 2 died in infancy.  All the others grew into adulthood and had children of their own.  I have never counted them.  Some of the 22 were twins, 4 sets if I remember correctly.

Large families weren't unusual in those times (no television to keep them occupied)  ;)

I meant to tell you, the grave stone hasn't been re-done.  It is in original state.  There are two other stones with a couple of his children in which are also very well preserved.
