Hello
I am trying to find out what happened to my twin brothers who were born in the above hospital on the 7/8/1958 and died there the same day. Their names were Gary and Robert Davies.
I have had help from a kind man at the Wilford Hill Southern Cemetery & Crematorium and he has accertained that they are not on any of his records. I've also checked: Carlton, Gedling, Red Hill and Bulwell with no luck.
Mine and my sisters memories are, that my mother never got to hold or see the boys but my Dad
did and when asked if they wanted the hospital to organise the burial, they went with that.
I live in NZ so finding it hard with all the cemeteries in Nottingham and hospitals.
The Wilford Hill gentleman wondered if they may have been buried in the Hospital grounds but so far it looks like they didn't have a graveyard? Or that they may have been buried in a local Churchyard which is what I am stuck on. The other option was that a local funeral director may have done the burial but I'm stuck there on who to ask as well.
Has anyone got any more ideas on where to look.
I have sent off an email to the Univesity as I understand they have patent records that can be looked at after 100 years or maybe less if you ask them, we will see if I get a reply.
Thanks
Linda
