As recently as 40 years ago, many parents of stillborn babies and babies who died shortly after birth were not told what happened to their child's body. A new mass grave has been found by a woman looking for her two brothers.
More than 300 bodies have been discovered in a mass grave in Oldham, with the majority belonging to babies and children. The 12x12ft grave in Royton Cemetery was found by a woman looking for her brothers, with one stillborn and the other dying within five hours in 1962. According to councillors Maggie Hurley and Jade Hughes, who revealed the discovery in a statement, 146 of the bodies were stillborn babies and 128 babies and young children.
'The staff are currently in the process of rectifying this by cross-referencing all available records and updating the online database.' Parents 'told to forget' According to stillbirth and neonatal death charity Sands, parents of stillborn babies or those dying shortly after birth were not consulted about funeral arrangements.
