Hi EB mate. I've been depressing meself in the records office again.

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.

HI MATE,

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 thought to myself, well Dad had had 80 years, and this poor little might had not had any life, and his parents must have been devestated.

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.
