Don't worry Trish I haven't forgotten about you.......had an un-scheduled stay in hospital so my October visit to the records office didn't happen - I go every 4-5 weeks if I can.  You're on my list for my November visit :-)

Following on from Claire's message the attached link takes you to a surname list of Monumental Inscriptions for Birdingbury, St. Leonard's

http://www.hunimex.com/warwick/mi/mi_birdingbury.html

Unfortunately Ronald is not listed which may mean he did not have a headstone or that it has not survived.

It's quite possible that the child may have been buried in the grave of another person.  It was the custom for children to be buried in the same plot as another person buried on the same day, especially if the parent(s) had little or no money.  If there were other family members interred in that graveyard, it's also possible that the child may have been interred with them.  Either way, the existance of any marker would be fairly unlikely. When I visited a graveyard recently, the archivist looked up the burial plot records of my g.g. grandparents, and we found that their grand-daughter (who had died at the age of 4, about 5 years after they died).
RIP 1949-10th January 2013

Best Wishes,  Nick.

Thanks RM I knew you would get around it sometime.

Sorry to hear of your spell in hospital, hope it isn't anything serious.

Thanks Sylvia will check that out. Thanks also Pinetree. Thanks also to Nick, I don't think the finance would be an issue with this family, as the Father was a wealthy manufacturer and it is a long sad story, will tell it another day.
