Still birth 1942

[fortyseven]

Colin,

Thank you for your kind words.

My parents never talked about the Still Birth. But, back then,they didn't talk much about things and, we never asked. You will always think about your brother/sister. When the time is right, you may well search for an answer and get some comfort.

Thought I would let you know, I applied for a Stillbirth certificate and had a phone call from a lady at GRO.

My brother was not still born, he lived for only 8 hours. If I hadn't contacted GRO, I would never have known.

Margaret,

I am pleased that you have managed to find out where your brother is buried. For my own situation it gave me a sense of peace just knowing that little bit extra about my sister who I never met and where she rests. Like your parents my parents never talked about her. She was the playmate/companion that sadly never materialised.

Jenni,

Yes, it does help me knowing where he is buried. The lady I spoke to, is sending me a map of the cemetery and will highlight his resting place. She will also give me the minister who did the service.

I only wish I lived nearer, but I often think about my brother.
