Hi and welcome to rootschat

Years ago I remember a conversation I had with my mother in law when I first started research, she told me of a sibling of hers which was still born, not registered and was buried in a grave of 'someone' who had died and was being buried... her story continued that she would go with her parents to this grave to lay flowers but she couldn't remember the person whose grave it was, so without her story I would never have known of the stillbirth sibling of hers.

In my own maternal line my I found out my great grandfather was previously married (no one knew) and he had 5 children one of which survived and my grandmother thought it was her older sister ( not older half sister) the other 4 ( 1879-1886) one stillbirth, no birth/death reg, but there is a burial record and the other three died 1 hour to 16 weeks old and they were registered birth/death and burials.

How sad! I just wish my grandmother had still been here so I could have told her about her dads previous marriage, her older half sibling and the 4 who died
