Hi all Further to my last post on Charles MCCONNELL who died 1882 and was buried at St Nicholas Lincoln or Newport Cemetery The couple Charles & Ellen appear to have had a son who died in infancy Births Dec 1880 McCONNELL James Henry Lincoln 7a 495 Deaths Mar 1881 MCCONNELL James Henry 0 Lincoln 7a 340 He does not appear in the NBI as Charles does and I wondered if anyone had anything on a burial for him He could of course be buried without ceremony or recording but I thought it worth asking just in case Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK)

It's possible the child was only a few days old - b late December, d early January - in which case he could have shared a coffin with another deceased and unrelated person. This was quite common in those days.

Thank you Joan That is what I was eluding to when I said he may be buried with no ceremony or recording Many infants and stillbirths in particular were buried with another burial almost as though they never existed It was a different time though and things were not the same as they are now People needed to be more practical then But thanks for the thought Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > It's possible the child was only a few days old - b late December, d early > January - in which case he could have shared a coffin with another deceased > and unrelated person.
