Loveday Maternity Hospital - help please
« on: Sunday 28 February 10 22:36 GMT (UK) »
One of my family died in Loveday Maternity Hospital Birmingham.
Does anyone know the nearest cemetery ?
Her named was Constance Annie Sheridan and she died in 1914 aged 42. I can find no record of a baby's birth or death, so i presume it was a stillbirth. - so very sad !
any help much appreciated

Witton Cemetery isn't too far away (due north on the opposite side of the M6!).

Constance is not Buried at Key Hill Cemetery so you can rule that one out.

Possible that your relative may be buried in a family grave in a church yard rather than a cemetery.

Do you know her home address ?

This could help narrow the search to burial location.

I know someone who was born at Loveday Street Maternity Hospital, although the family lived about 12 miles away.

Do you know if the family lived near to the hospital? Perhaps the burial may have taken place near to where the family lived.

I was also born at Loveday Street Hospital, and we lived about 8 miles away.  I was supposed to be a homebirth, but I just didn't want to emerge, so maybe they took problem births from further away.   Doesn't help you I'm afraid. It was a main city centre hospital, so if you knew her home address, that would definitely the the way to find her place of burial or cremation.

Have you tried Lodge Hill Cemetery?  I know they have a section there for all the unborn babies of Birmingham  https://www.birmingham.gov.uk/lodge-hill-cemetery.  Good luck.

There is also Warstone Lane Cemetery in Birmingham Jewellery Quarter.
