My grandmother's sister died young - family story ways breech birth, death cert says postpartum haemorrhage. Huddersfield region it was. 1918. Not a trace of the infant exists - birth, bapt, death, burial. Checked them all! I have been told it was not a legal requirement to so register the child till about 1920 something - 1927 comes to mind but I am not sure. I doubt you will find anything at all, nearly 50 years earlier. My best guess re Granma's sister Lizzie is the infant is in the same grave as Mum - but we cannot be sure.

My sister and have a Colin Edward Aston GOTHAM born 3 August 1873 in our family tree - the information was given to us by a family member no longer living. However, we have been unable to find any trace of a birth, baptism or death and I am now wondering if he was stillborn.
