The Common Room / Death in Childbirth
« on: Wednesday 14 August 19 12:00 BST (UK) »
I have a family member, quite distant, who died in childbirth. I can find no record of any child being born at the time of death. Could it be that the baby died at the same time and was never 'born'? I know where she is buried and the records only show her as being in the plot. Her details are: Harriett Duddridge (not Dudderidge) Born 1896, died 19th July 1930 aged 34. Her husband was present at the time of her death, so I assume its unlikely that the child would have been immediately adopted. They had 14 children between them, four of whom died, so they were doing quite well!
