I am trying to find out if a child at the age of 2yrs would have a grave, the child in question is
Violet Griffin dob 1900 died 1903 parents William Griffin Florence Hodgkinson. I have found a death record for Violet but just wondered if she would have a grave. Her parents are both buried in Darbyshire Lane cemetery. Would just like to know where she would have been buried.
I've found one burial that fits in every detail except one on FMP.

As you can see, it's says the father's name is George.
There is another Violet Griffin born 1900 mmn Hodkinson. There is only one death though for a Violet Griffin and that is the one you have all found with father being George.
Hi Marlene et al,
Maybe someone could check out the details of a death in 1900, September qtr. Ecclesall Bierlow. Vol. 9C page 295 (Ref:FBMD)
for VIOLET GRIFFEN age 0. Note spelling EN instead of IN.
I think this may be the Violet(B:1900 June qtr.mmn.Hodgkinson) who died (but not in 1903) with parents William (Robert) Griffin and Florence Hodgkinson.
NOTE: The Violet who died in 1903, should have showed up in 1901 with William and Florrie who were at that time living in the Norton area but she did not.
NOTE: At least 2 of William's brothers moved from Birmingham to Sheffield and all three brothers named one of their children Violet. The only one who was still living in 1911 age 15 belonged to brother Joseph Paul Griffin and as we have learned the Violet who died in 1903 belonged to George Griffin.
I am still confused with my search for Violet. I now know that there was a
Violet Griffin dob July 1901 - died Apl 1903 child to George Griffin.
Violet Griffin dob Apl 1900 - died July 1900 child to William and Florence is the child I am trying to find.
I have found a grave burial for the first Violet 1901 -1903 but cannot find any record of Violet 1900 - 1900. William and Florence were married in 1900 and according to census 1901 there is no child recorded so presumably Violet must have died? Can you help in my quest to find where she would have been buried.
How sure are you that Violet died in July. I have found this
