I was in a local records office today looking through burial records for my G G Grandfather. On the same day as he was buried there were twin babies who were only 5 mins and 1 hour old buried in the same coffin as each other. So I'm there sniffing a bit. I had also seen one where it was a new born baby boy whose body was found on Hendon (at Sunderland) beach. Very very sad. |

When I was registering the death of my dear Dad, and was very sad, when it came to me signing the register, I noticed on the previous page, a little baby boy, just born, died with kidney failure., same as my Dad had died with, but there was a difference of 80 years between them. |

I have many in my family. Our area was supposed to have the highest infant mortality rate after the east end of London in the latter part of the 19th century. A statistic I believed after doing my own family research. I'm surprised I'm here. |

You're prob right there winterwitch. If they had to rear them on cows milk the poor babies didn't have a hope. |

I've read bits about it a while back. About poor little Isabella Hazard who the called the blue girl. Poor bairn, terrible for being famous as an example of classic cholera |

My mam had a older sister, (my mam was named after her). Who died of diptheria when she was 7. She had had school photos taken a few weeks before but my Nanna culdn't afford to buy the. After the lass died my nanna contacted the photographer but they had been incinerated. Always make me want to cry. At the time she was my nanna'a only girl. |

Looking through the records for Lympne in Kent, there are burials for quite a few unidentified bodies washed up on the beach at West Hythe. |
