They didn't use "John or Jane Doe".....I only found one "William John" and one "Jane Doe". I then used "unknown" as the surname for the period 1900-1974 for deaths on BDM's online and it bought up many of the same "foundlings" deaths for that period as well. Plus look at all of those other "unknowns".....how many of them are mine that I can't find deaths for ?????
