As late as the eighties and nineties, it was standard procedure for hospitals to bury stillborn babies or early deaths in these mass graves.
When baby Joyce was born, she was so small they wrapped her in her dad’s handkerchief on the way to the hospital. She lived for two days.
Parents were usually kept in the dark about the practice. But recently, a number of parents across the UK have been seeking out the final resting places of their lost children. For both parents, the most difficult part has been not knowing exactly where their baby lies. After their daughter-in-law Kay managed to find the plot number at the cemetery, Anne and Peter spent a day in the rain trying to find the exact location.
She says it would ‘mean the world’ to her to be able to lay something at her daughter’s grave. “I’ve been ill recently. It’s on my bucket list before I pass away to be able to honestly say I’ve done something for my little girl,” she explained. “Like other councils across the country, for many years we have charged an administration fee when people need help to find an adult grave. This is often to help people researching family history, rather than those searching for immediate family members, and we have never charged people who are looking for the graves of babies.”
