What do you think . buried or given away.

[Eilleen]

Hello,

I am putting question on Lincolnshire board, because it happened in Lincolnshire.

all relative parties are now dead, so no one to offend .

In the last few hours of 1938  , twin boys were born in a village in Lincolnshire,

one only lived to be 13 days old, or so the story goes.

birth was registered, death was registered , ( suspicious registers )

The story told , was that the little boy was buried up the side of the local church , was this normal practice ? 

and to prove this How do I go about seeing the parish register .

Eilleen , trying to clear up a old mystery , that still gives Me sleepless nights ( sometimes ) x

Lincolnshire Burial Parish Records are available to view on the Family Search Website (Free to Register).
 
Information provided confirms a Burial, at a Location, but not necessarily a particular Church. However, depending on the Location, a particular Church might be identified. For a 'new born' or infant burial, it was not usual for the grave to be unmarked, althought the Church Burial Record may point to the location.

 If You undertake to view the Family Search Website and find the 'new born' Burial Record and Location, then contacting a Local History Society in the area of interest, might be Your best course of action.

I should add, that contacting a Lincolnshire Local History Society might also be Your first course of action, to assist You, in Your quest.

I needed to see a marriage for the 1940s; the register was still at the church. This was in the late 1990s, so may not be there now.
It might be worth checking, in my case the church warden showed me the register.

There`s also FreeReg, which I`ve found to be excellent for Lincolnshire ( well done transcribers), it`s easier to negotiate than LincstothePast.

I should have stated this on My previous Post.

Failing the identified Church holding the appropriate Burial Records, then they would most likely be deposited at the Lincolnshire Archive, at Lincoln.

If a Church Burial Record for the Twin 'new born' can be located on Family Search, then the original, non transcribed document, can be viewed at a LDS  Family History Centre.

ADD: Eilleen, as You appear to be an experienced Family History Researcher, It's puzzling as to why You are posting such a Church Burial Record query, and with so little detail. From the title of Your Post, You seem to speculate that the Infant Twin didn't die, but was given away.

This is intriguing.
What do you mean by ‘suspicious registers’?

On your earlier thread you say you have the death certificate - is there a cause of death etc?

Sandblown.

If I can find proof that He was buried.

Maybe then My sleepless nights may end 

I have been searching on and off for a few years.

I do have His birth and death cert, but that is another sad story.

Eilleen.

Removed - you have put at the end of 1938.

I was always led to believe that it was standard practice to place the bodies of infants in any conveniently open grave?

Maybe something to do with them not being christened?
