Re: Illegitimate and born in a Poorhouse COMPLETED WITH THANKS

I found poor Mary.  She survived in this world for just 6 days and I now have her death registration which follows immediately on from her mother's.  I wonder if any of the rest of the family knew of their sister's and niece's deaths and the circumstances; doesn't bear thinking about  that, if they didn't, did anyone mourn these 2 souls?  It makes me happy that Himself's family did eventually become 'better off' and they are now all happily in touch and aware of the ups and downs of one another's lives. Thanks again.
