thanks Agnes, no i think your right and it will be a near impossibility finding him. Afterall whos to say the father even knew he was going to be a father?
i sincerely hope that word did get passed on down the line (you know "your great grandfather fatherered a child in may 1917 all he knew was that she was called hannah and the mother was called Elizabeth - but he knew nothing else as he was shut out" etc etc, then its a case of an ancestor coming across one of my threads by sheer chance.
secrets, dont you just hate them lol
thank you

thank you Valda that was a really interesting read.
my gg grandfather was recorded as "of unsound mind" when he took his own life so im presuming from that- he would of got abit of sympathy and a proper burial then (well in a common grave at least but in consecrated ground).
how sad to think someone was so desperately unhappy to take their own life and it was classed as a mortal sin. how society has changed over the years, and for the better too.....

Warwickshire / suicides and burials
« on: Saturday 08 May 10 18:44 BST (UK) »
Hi,
in 1910-1914 if someone committed suicide would it be the law that they were placed in an unmarked grave? (as in not allowed to have a religious ceremony .... )
my gg grandfather took his own life in 1910 (of unsound mind his death cert reads.. )
also my ggm died in the same circumstances 4 yrs later, she was an inmate of the union workhouse. is it more than likely the workhouse paid for her funeral and where would she most likely be buried ? i know warwick hospital is now in the location of where the workhouse used to be, where would the burial place of been ?
If anyone is familiar with the town of Leamington and could help me with these queries id really appreciate it
thank you

Ayrshire / New Cumnock Cemetery
« on: Thursday 06 May 10 20:04 BST (UK) »
Hi,
i was wondering if anyone could give me some information on this cemetery. Is it large/small/medium sized, is it still open for burials?
Basically my gf is buried there, and if its a tiny cemetery i was wondering if someone wouldnt mind having a look for his grave for me & taking a photograph.
If its a large cemetery then of course i wouldnt expect someone to go searching for hours and id be happy to get in touch with the records place and get a plot location number.
Can anyone offer me any information on this site please.
Kind thanks
