Family History Beginners Board / 28 Loveday Street, Birmingham, UK. 1956.

My brother Peter Griffiths was born at this hospital on 28th December 1956, where he died two hours later, from intracranial haemorrhage.
His parents lived in Stirchley at the time, in Cartland Road.
I was had as a replacement.
As was the way back then, the cure for grief was never to talk of these things. All I know is that he had his own, tiny, white coffin, which my father carried at the funeral service himself.
I know absolutely nothing else.
I'm getting older now, and have spent so many years trying to find out where Peter was buried or cremated, to no avail. Our parents are deceased. I want to find Peter, if not where he is, then where he was. I want to say goodbye to the brother I've never yet said hello to.
I've scoured websites, written to churches (most of which don't reply) and can find nothing.
If anyone can help I'd be eternally grateful.
