Could you be talking about the cemetery of the Forest Green Chapel near Nailsworth? We were there in the late 1990s, and the cemetery was very overgrown and unkempt. I believe the Chapel itself is gone.

I have been following this thread and offer a suggestion as to why people are not finding the deaths of still and near still deaths in church registers. Other have said before certain dates they did not have to be registered with the register general and don't forget the hospital does not do the registration you have to physically go to the registers office or at least you have to in NSW Australia. In NSW lots of people forgot to register the birth of live babies, it was a crime with penalties not to register an event within a certain time. In a time before passports etc with no incentive to register, baby bonus etc, if the time had lapsed why bother. With so many of our laws, certainly before 1900, based on English laws, this may also have applied in the UK. But the reason for this email, my mother was born in England in 1920 to an Australian mother, she was privately baptized at home as soon as possible after she was born as her mother was so horrified at the then English practice of insisting unbaptised babies had to be buried in un-concentrated ground. The back corner of the church yard for babies seems like either unconsecrated ground or a carry over of this practice. Logically if the burial was not in consecrated ground it may not have to be recorded in the church register. I gather you did not have General Cemeteries in England only those attached to a church (unless they were Quaker cemeteries). What sorts of notations have the people transcribing parish records found for unbaptised babies and suicides, another lot that were not buried in consecrated ground. Has anyone with a known suicide found the burial recorded in a English local parish register for the period say 1900 to 1920? Elizabeth Roberts Sydney Australia

Listers - Time to draw this thread to a close, please ! A number of useful suggestions have now been aired & mulled over! Thanks Wendy GLS List Admin

Hi Listers, Emailing you from the snowy hills of Pa, USA! As we get this Northeaster snow storm, I'm settling in to ask if anyone else is in search for anyone who might have been in my ancestor's downline? Brother's family, sisters, etc. Hoping to get some lead on my great grandfather and or his family. This is what I have so far. Edgar Smith, (s/o Silvanus Smith ,Emma Bick) born abt:1858/60, (Gloucester,1860c),died,abt:1948/51, Stroud, married/maybe not? spouse: Elizabeth Swan, born abt:1875-1880, died:? daughter: Caroline Smith,born,abt:1905, Gloucestershire, died: 2000, Swindon, Wiltshire son: Frederick Smith, born,abt:1912,died:? Prior Rd. Gloucestershire 1861 Census: Gloucester:122 Westgate Street: Silvanus Smith, age:32, Emma (Bick),wife:30 MaryJane dau: 3 Edgar, son, 2 George, son: 3 mons Frank Huncombe, servant,17 Elizabeth Rose, servant, 15 I think this is mine, its hard to tell, but because my grandmother, (Caroline) told me she was born on Westgate St. it does make sense! Is there anyone online who belongs to George, or Mary Jane? I have not been able to find any marriage registration for Edgar Smith and Elizabeth Swan. although they are both named as parents to Frederick Smith from St. Nicholas, Gloucester in 1912, either they didn't register or they didn't marry, or how do I find my Gran's birth certificate without spending a fortune on the wrong ones.???? lol Esther Fetkso Thank in Advance.

John Cooper, brother of my great-grandmother Rosina Cooper, committed suicide in 1872. He jumped down the well in the back garden of his mother's house in Hawkesbury Upton. The coroner's records are all available in Gloucester Record Office. There was an inquest, which determined that he had committed suicide. The jury was composed of well-known local names, all of whom would have been known to John and his family. John is buried in the churchyard at Hawkesbury, although I do not know the position of his grave, and there is no memorial. The burial register makes no mention of the circumstances of his death.

Elizabeth >From 1874/75 there were fines for people not registering births within six weeks, and it is the same today. Prior to that date, and from July 1837 I think it was a combination of the Parish Clerk and/or the parents, but I am not too sure on that. We did have churchyards, that is true, but we also had cemeteries because by about 1780 most churchyards were full to overflowing - literally. So bad in some cases that the earth of the churchyard was way above the path, which caused a well known Birmingham man, William Hutton to remark 'it was once said the church buried the dead, but it now looks like the dead are burying the church' or words to that effect (I am doing this from memory). This is when cemeteries came in. The first recorded one (according to Dr James Stevens Curl in his book The Victorian Celebration of Death) is one that was laid out in Norwich in about 1819, but most people either do not know about that or do not consider it, because it was very small. The cemetery I am involved with, Key Hill Cemetery in Birmingham, was laid out in 1835 and open for business in May 1836 - and yes, this was unconsecrated, because it was for non-conformists - however, it was for the use of all denominations. I think this may have shocked many people years ago, but some of the most famous English people are buried at Key Hill, including the Chamberlain family (Neville Chamberlain's father, Joseph, for instance) and Alfred Bird of custard fame, John Henderson whose firm built the Crystal Palace and the Chance family, whose glass company was the most important in the world by 1851. Not being buried in consecrated ground is nothing to be ashamed of - KH also has a lot of C of E families there, including some of my own, and accordingly to one lady whose grandparents were amongst the civilian war dead 'we had them buried at Key Hill because it was considered 'posh'. I have been permitted access to the Key Hill records, and some stillborn children are in the records, as I have seen them. As for suicides, I cannot say, but it was also the normal practice for hanged felons to be buried in unconsecrated ground, but there is a man buried at St Mary's Churchyard in Handsworth, Birmingham, who was a forger, and he was hanged. St Mary's is C of E, so it goes to show that nothing is written in tablets of stone, it was obviously dependent on the vicar.

wonder if this will help Judy. I have in my possession a certificate and I quote " Form of cerificate of Registry of Birth or Stillborn." Births and registry act ,1874 section 30. The baby is not named it just gives the date 8th Dec 1930 and the informant. This particular baby lived only an hour. Joy

Hi, Just getting in on this one, My mum always told me she had an older sister that died. I have tried everything to find a birth or death of this child. Mum didn't know if she was stillborn or not as it wasn't talk of in those days, this is around (1930's) all she knew was she had a sister called Marion. (Do I wish my gran was still alive to ask her myself) She was also told it was buried at the back of the churchyard behind the church. But had no idea where. There are no markings or records of burial in the church records. This has become the end of the line for me, and I expect alot of others, with the same problems. One of those things that will never come out of the closet and we will never know.

Hi Pauline This thread has kept the list busy! Another possibility that I don't think has been aired here, is that the twin might have died during the pregnancy, even quite early in the pregnancy, then the surviving twin carried to term. During delivery, the presence of the probably tiny, deceased twin would have been noted by those in attendance, but given the timeframe (1890's), would have been treated the same way as the placenta, depending on the family traditions at the time, may have been buried in the back yard. There would be no requirement to register this as a stillbirth or for burial in a cemetery. However, the presence of the twin would have been talked about in the family - the children of the family incorporating into their own stories at their level of understanding, (the brother was only six years old at the time). Being a twin is/was special and likely to be remembered and clung on to. Good luck with your search for a twin "given away"! Margaret

Hi Everyone I'm trying to trace and Edward IVINS/IVENS born c. 1761. He is the father of James, John, Rachel and Lydia all born in the 1790's at Chipping Campden. Have checked IGI for all entries, births and marriages, for those parishes within a five mile radius of Chipping but with no luck. Are there any records on fiche or CD that I can obtain for the area or can anyone help in any other way. Reciprocal help is offered for any with connections in Dorset as I'm five minutes away from the Record Office in Dorchester. Cheers Lennie

I have noticed in my search here in American that in many cases, the father had to go in to town and register a birth. I found a son on a birth index for my 3rd ggp in 1853 but by the time the census came around in 1860, he wasn't listed with the family. I would imagine that he died as a small child. There was no required death index in this state of Kentucky until 1911. This family lived on an 80 acre farm as did most of their neighbors and most of these farms had their own little family graveyards somewhere on the property. I did find one on the next farm over that was the home of another set of 3rd ggp. It was on a small hill covered with tree's and the stones were very old. A cousin who is related and own's the farm is taking care of it out of respect even though he is not related and didn't know who the people were until I wandered in and we met. Sometimes one never knows where they will find answer's to some of their brick walls. I toppled several of my brick walls that day. Janet Virginia, USA

I can remember many years ago of the mother of someone I knew, telling me that her daughter was a twin, but the other one had been miscarried very early on in the pregnancy, before it was realised that she was still pregnant. So nothing would have gone in any register at all. Likewise the baby I lost exactly 20 years ago come the end of the week. I was in hospital and as it was 23 weeks term, there is no record of him, other in my own hospital records. Never did find out what happened to him, but then, that is another story. So Pauline, Margaret may well be right, there was no record of the twin, just a case of like my own twin aunt, I have a note of Mary and this wasn't just from her twin sister, but also from my father, ten years older than her, but then, I haven't as yet, gone down the burial route to prove or disprove it.

Hi. I too have been searching for a birth and a death in February 1942 without success. My Brother was born in Tetbury Hospital in February 1942 and died the same day. I remember seeing his birth and death recorded in an old newspaper but unfortunately have never been able to find an actual birth or death record for him. I also do not know of any grave site as it was a subject never spoken about at home. I was told by my Grandmother and Aunt that I had a Brother and that he died the day he was born. I really would like to find some evidence of his existence.
