Looking for grave

[tinkerbell2]

Hello,
Can anyone give me some guidance please.
I am looking for a grave of a baby. Her name is Annie Ayers and she was born on 12 November 1898 and lived for 30 minutes. On the death certificate it gives her address as Enid street, Bermondsey, St Olaves, Southwark. She is not on Deceased on line. I believe they have the main 4 cemetery records of that Area on their site. They were very poor and she would have had the cheapest burial option. Would anyone have any ideas as to what cemeteries were active around that time? He sister Florence died 7 months before and her death was registered in Stepney. She is in Manor Park cemetery. I rang them to check if Annie was there too but no luck. The family had always lived in Bermondsey. Any ideas please?

Have you considered that, for cheapness,  she may have been added to another burial that was happening in the next day or so and so isn't listed as a burial in her own right?

I agree with Darnity.  That  was a very common way for the burial of newborn babies at that time, especially for the poor.

Yes, that is quite likely but I still think it would be recorded. I have come across this before and didn't have a problem finding the grave. Unless it depends on the cemetery?

Burials cost money. When families were struggling to feed their living children it would be unusual, just from my personal family tree experience, for them to be able to pay for a newborn baby burial and is far more likely the option suggested in previous posts.
Once I did find a burial in a mass grave though, so you may be lucky and find that happened in your case.

I also found this which is interesting....
