It was also quite common for babies or newborns who died to be placed in a coffin with any local adult who died at the same time. You may be able to deduce where baby John was buried by looking at the burial register for other burials within a day or two of the baby's death, but I think locating the whereabouts of either child now rests on finding a document or record by absolute fluke. However the children obviously meant a lot to their parents and I think you can be assured they are buried somewhere in the Willoughton graveyard.
Thank you very much! I will have a look at the relevant page in the Parish Register for burials. I am very grateful for your posts, which have taught me a great deal. Very best wishes!
