Beatrice Mary Venner b 1902 d 1903 Derbyshire Lane/Norton Cemetery
I have details of her parents' grave where her brother is also buried. (Henry, Jemima and George Nelson Venner)
But I can find no reference to exactly where Beatrice is buried in this cemetery, although records show it as her place of burial.
Do you have any information please?
Thank you

Hello Ann
It seems that George, Henry Nelson and Jemima are buried in consecrated ground, grave Va 5.
Beatrice is buried in consecrated ground, grave S 126. Burial Date 15th April 1903; Age 10months.
This information is from Sheffield FHS transcriptions.
I noticed this child on your transcripts. Gertrude was the name of one of the many daughters of Henry and Jemima Venner. She married in Edinburgh in 1930. If Kathleen was her child, would she have been buried in concecrated ground as an possible illegitimate child? (birth and death appear to have been registered)
Any ideas welcome!
Thank you
Ann
Ann, try looking at all the other children buried in this mass grave. They all came from local hospitals over a matter of a few days in March 1927.

Ann, there were 13 burials in 12 days in that one grave. 12 of them were young children and one was a 77 year old. 12 of them died in hospital. That does not seem to be anything out of the ordinary.
