Death in Childbirth

[brionne]

Marriage June 1914 Bridgewater
Harriet Groves to William H Duddridge

Is this correct.

I think that couple are in the 1939 register in Bridgwater- from free index [with middle intial H for William] so that Harriet was still alive.

ADDED: 14 children by the age of 34...there are a lot of Duddridge children around that time registered in Bridgwater MMN Duddridge, so maybe William & Harriet never married?

No, she is definitely deceased, I have the death certificate!

I maybe didn't make it very clear but my point was that the William H Duddridge & Harriet Groves 1914 marriage possibly wasn't your relative....

No Brionne. She married Thomas Henry Duddridge in July of 1919.

Could you post her correct marriage details as you have it please.Thanks

Off on a tangent here..

I'm actually from Bridgwater...  And funeral directors in the family.

When my mum had a still born child, what happened to the baby once they took it away, normally back then mother wouldn't see the child..

My relations explained, that apparently in the case of a still born baby, the baby would be taken to a local funeral director, then the baby would be placed in the foot of the coffin of the next person to be buried.  So they had a christian burial almost. 

But no record would be kept, of what still born baby went to what funeral

As in the BMD, Thomas H Duddridge = Harriett Searle, Bridgwater 1919.

Jo see post 3.
The church concerned was St Andrews South Newton Wiltshire,where I found a record [note form] of the still born in my own tree buried with a stranger.St Andrews records were still being held then at the church some years ago now.
