Hello Daisy Thankyou again for this

Yes that was the info I searched from at the Berkshire Archives when I went also went through all the microfiche on other cemeteries in the area
As mentioned I feel it is Henley Road cemetery but not sure how I can look deeper if the only records are at the archives

Hello Dawn
Thankyou for this it is much appreciated
I have utilised the staff at the crematorium services and they tried (well the second person did the first one was very unhelpful ….) but , were unable to locate any specific cemetery that battle hospital used at that time .
I am pretty sure it is a cemetery in Reading not near home as all stillborns we could find from Battle hospital at that time appeared to use either Hemdean or Henley Road (as London Road stopped taking new burials in  the 1950s .)
I can assume but without documentary evidence I cannot be sure and I know there must be a paper trail somewhere just not sure where to go next ….
Thankyou
Neil

Family History Beginners Board / Help in finding a stillborn baby from 1962 in Reading

Hello all
I am trying to track down the last resting place of my wife’s stillborn brother Paul GABBEDEY born in Battle Hospital Reading in 1962 (we do have his stillborn certificate which we obtained from GRO that confirmed the date )
Battle hospital has closed down and all records transferred to Royal Berks Hospital, but they were unable to help as their records did not go back far enough
I also searched the cemetery records at the council archives in Reading but no record was found there in his name I found some stillborn were listed but not his
So my question is this would local cemeteries to the hospital ,which are likely to have received stillborn from Battle Hospital at that time , have records of all the burials of stillborms even if they are not in the council archives and if so is their anyone here that may be able to point me in the right direction who may be more familiar with the Reading cemeteries….
Many thanks
Neil
