    3. I agree with Stan, and so did church ministers if these burial records are anything to go on. Both from the records of South Shields St Stephen. Frederick Robson (as per certificate of register) Aged 2 weeks Heron Street Buried 09th March 1857 No ceremony performed the child not having been baptised A child intended to be called Margaret Elliott Aged 1 day Gowland Street Buried 30th October 1857 Not baptised therefore no ceremony For those listers missing ancestors in the South Shields area there were 48 burial records for UNKNOWN between 1848 & 1869. Almost all were "drowned in the Tyne" 44 for a man unknown 1 for a woman unknown 1 for a foundling male child aged about 3 weeks I for a male child 1 for a female child Margaret Hall Wallsend. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: 22 May 2009 14:11 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [DUR-NBL] Possible Christening of twin girls b/d 1905 Gateshead In a message dated 22/05/2009 13:54:27 GMT Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: I would think they were, more than likely, even if it were post mortem. ____________________________________________________________________________ There is absolutely no way in which a dead child, or anyone else for that matter, can be baptised.
