Hi,
I am a complete beginner at family history, so please go slowly!
I am trying to find out the name of my uncle, who died very young (I believe at 3 days old). I am ashamed to say that I listened to my grandma tell his story many times, and held her hand while she cried for her lost baby, but I never asked her what his name was Neither my grandma nor my grandad is with us anymore, and I don't have a good enough relationship with either my dad or other uncle to ask.
I know;
- The approximate year of birth/death (ie I know the years of the deceased's older and younger brothers)
- Baby's surname
- Mother's full maiden name
- Fathers full name
- address of birth (home)
Is this enough to help me find the birth/death record of the baby who died? Not for any specific reason really, just that I want a name to remember him by. My grandma told me the story of the little boy she lost so many times and I want to think of him properly. He was buried somewhere as there was a coffin, though my grandma wasn't allowed to go; would I be able to find out where he is buried?
Any help would be really appreciated.
