Thread: Atkinson

I am trying to find information on a pair of twins John Herbert Atkinson & James Atkinson born 1/09/1918 at 16 Kent Terrace, Kent Street, Holderness Road, Hull. Both John & James died on the 16/09/1918.

Cause of death for both stated as defect from birth. I thought they would have been buried in Hedon Road Cemetery, but have contacted the Hull Crematorium who say they are not buried there.

Any help would be appreciated.

in some areas it is usual for newborns to be burried in shared graves or in with others who are being buried at the same time as people could not afford seperate plots as plots were and are expensive.



not sure this is any help, but thought it worth a mention.

good luck

Yes this was correct newborns were buried with who was being buried at time .
