Hi Peter,
Do you have any stillborn deaths in the name of BOWMER, from 1888 to 1910,
please, I have a birth that I cannot find in that time, info from 1911 census. Would the fathers name be indicated? It would have been Elias Bowmer.
Thank you for looking,
Denise Hurd

Hi Daley,

I only have the Stillborn Details for the Barnsley Borough, Have a go on "Find my Past" it may throw something up

I would just like to say a big thankyou to Peter, I recently found my sister who was stillborn in 1966, the only imformation my mum had was that she was in Barnsley cemetery. After contacting Peter he gave me the plot number and section she is in, we thought she was in a multiple grave with lots of other stillborns but this is not the case, we now plan to have a plaque made and put on her grave. My mum is over the moon. Once again THANKYOU!

Hi Peter,
please can you tell me if you have any record of a stillbirth under the name of Lloyd between the years of 1937 and Jun 1941? My father was told he had a sister who was either a still birth or died in infancy and possibly buried in Cudworth cemetry but we have been able to find any record of her at all.
Thank you
